August 14, 2024 – AAEI recognizes members who lead the Association on key issues, initiatives, and projects. This week, AAEI spotlights Vincent Iacopella of Alba Wheels Up International LLC.

Vince is a chair of AAEI’s Transpacific Committee, which focuses on logistical issues impacting Transpacific trade. At AAEI, Vince and the committee are working on a Supply Chain white paper. Vince will also be a speaker for an upcoming AAEI webinar, providing attendees with a Port and FMC Update.

At Alba Wheels Up, Vince is President, Government and Trade Relations. His accomplishments include creating initiatives for leveraging emerging service and market opportunities, notably pioneering e-commerce solutions and innovative supply chain de-risking tools.

He has more than 30 years of experience managing global customer relationships in Transpacific markets with cross border imports and exports considered trade sensitive for USG agencies, such as CBP, FDA, and others. 

Vince works externally and within Alba on strategy and initiatives that drive value to mid-market and global customers through this approach. Vince focuses collaboration with US Government agencies, such as COAC, which allows the trade to align CBP policy commercially to the private sector, and the private sector to align their practices with long term strategic policy of government regulatory agencies.
