Professional Profile

Rosaliene Bacchus, former sole-proprietor of RB International Trade Services (2007-
2010), initiated this USBrazil Trade Assist Desk with the mission

to share know-how and experience in operating in the Brazilian market;
to promote trade between Brazil and the United States; and
to provide reliable and useful information about trade, and the US and Brazilian
markets.

Rosaliene was born in Georgetown, Republic of Guyana - a member state of the
Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and South America's only English-speaking nation.

Graduating as a geographer from the University of Guyana, she started her professional
life as a high school geography teacher. When she moved to the business sector, her
experience in the Foreign Trade Department of Barclays Bank PLC introduced her to
international trade documents.

When Rosaliene migrated to Northeast Brazil in 1987, her fluency in English was the
stepping-stone to a new career in international trade. As an import-export manager, she
worked with clients in Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway,
Portugal, South Africa, United Kingdom, and the United States.

Rosaliene relocated to the United States in 2003 and currently resides in Los Angeles,
California.
