The Founder

Amy Frey

President & FOUNDER

Amy’s interest in world trade began with obtaining a double degree in International Relations and Economics from the University of Delaware. She further expanded her knowledge by pursuing a Public Policy Master’s degree from Georgetown University with a concentration in International Trade and Export Promotion Policy.

After graduate school, Amy worked for the Victorian State Government in Australia as an Export Advisor in their International Trade Division.  Upon returning to the US, Amy began working with several Victorian companies to provide US market entry consulting services.

Consulting soon transformed into the Australian Trading Company which then became ATC International. Amy and her team at ATC have helped thousands of companies to develop and expand sales in the US marketplace with US based third party logistics services.

Amy has been honored nationally by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) as a Rising Star, she has been named Exporter of the Year (for Services) by the Washington Metropolitan SBA and she was made honorary Southeast Asia Trade Ambassador for the State of Wyoming.  In 2023, Amy graduated from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Executive Program.

Alongside running her own business, Amy has written over 20 publications covering topics such as “Selling to US Retailers from Overseas”, “US Market Entry via Fulfillment Centers”, and “How to Prepare for a US Trade Show”. Amy has presented in webinars and conferences in numerous countries as an expert on US market entry and logistics.

In her free time, Amy volunteers as Director on several non-profit Boards including Friends of the Australian Koala Foundation, the Earth Sangha and the Beaver Lake Realty Board. She unwinds by travelling and exploring the great outdoors with her husband, Rick Haeuber, who recently retired from the US Environmental Protection Agency. They live in downtown Washington, DC with their very lucky Portuguese Water Dog named Mattie.  Amy also enjoys making people giggle every now and then (please scroll over her photo).
