GEN A Masterclass | Wendy Cutler

Meet Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) Vice President Wendy Cutler at the first 2018 GEN A Masterclass.

Before joining Asia Society, Wendy had an illustrious career of nearly three decades as a diplomat and negotiator in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. She served as Acting Deputy U.S Trade Representative, and was responsible for the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement, and a wide range of bilateral agreements with Japan.

Her visit follows the recent release of the ASPI report “Shifting Trade Winds: U.S. Bilateralism and Asia-Pacific Economic Integration” – Which is a product of collaboration by Australian (Peter Grey, Asia Society Advisory Councillor), Japanese, Chinese, Philippines, Indonesian and Korean trade experts and former officials.

This masterclasses will look at international and regional trade architecture, US withdrawal from the TPP and touch on how Wendy has built a successful career in diplomacy and trade negotiation. It is designed to be informal, in a small group setting, with ample time for Q&A.

This event is open to GEN A participants and members of Professionals in Trade (PIT) only.
