Programme Outline
Recent U.S. tariff measures are significantly impacting global supply chains, affecting businesses across all sectors, including those not directly engaged in international trade. These changes are disrupting value chains, complicating procurement, logistics, and sales performance, while increasing legal and contractual risks.
In this session, Professor Jesudevan Viveganandam, an expert on global trade policy and regulatory strategy, will explore the broader business implications of these tariffs. He will offer practical insights to help organizations identify indirect risks, enhance commercial operations, and build operational resilience. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how tariffs affect customer expectations, supplier relationships, delivery timelines, and legal obligations, along with strategies to effectively navigate this volatile environment.

Prof. V Jesudevan helps leaders protect what matters most: enterprise value, institutional integrity, and public trust.
With over two decades of experience across the judiciary, government, and private sector, Jesudevan has advised global companies and countries, led high-stakes prosecutions and navigated complex compliance and enforcement challenges across Asia and beyond.
As a former District Judge and Deputy Senior State Counsel with Singapore’s Attorney-General’s Chambers, he led the prosecution of complex financial crimes and advised the Government on a broad spectrum of issues, including civil matters, corporate fraud, corruption, international sanctions, and strategic trade controls. His work involved close collaboration with both domestic agencies and foreign regulators across the region.
Recently, he was recently appointed by the United Nations on nomination by the Governments of the Philippines, Singapore, and Japan to moderate Asia’s first-ever country Peer Review. He is also an expert with the European Union’s P2P Export Control Programme for Dual-Use Goods and a subject matter expert for the U.S. Department of State’s Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) Program.
Currently, as Founder and CEO of TradeKins, he works at the intersection of law, risk, and strategy by advising and assisting clients including countries and Fortune 500 companies.
He also serves as President of the Centre for Trade Excellence, a global non-profit advancing regulatory capacity and international compliance best practices in both public and private sectors.
A Fulbright Scholar, Jesudevan teaches compliance and risk management at the National University of Singapore and Singapore Management University shaping the next generation of principled leadership. He holds a Master of Laws from New York University (NYU) and was admitted to the Singapore Bar in 2005.
