Rémi Burdairon — Founder, Atria Trade Investments · ex-Louis Dreyfus, Ameropa, BTG Pactual
Co-hosted with the IE Agribusiness Club. Rémi unpacked where commodity trading, finance and digitalisation are heading next — trade finance, private credit, and the growing role of crypto and stablecoins in reshaping trade flows. The takeaway: trading is no longer only about moving physical goods well; it's about solving for capital, speed, trust and settlement.
CompletedProf. Craig Pirrong — University of Houston, the "Streetwise Professor"
A masterclass in how the industry is really organised: the roles of trading firms, market structure, vertical integration, and the economics of the global trade networks that drive commodity flows.
