Bertrand started his trading and logistics career in Johannesburg nearly 40 years ago. He led a team which opened a route from Southern Africa to the Great Lakes region and as a result developed trade to that region. He has maintained a close relationship with both suppliers and customers over the years and created a trusted supply chain which has kept many industries working during some of the difficult times this Central African region has undergone. His duties also took him to West Africa and specifically to Benin where he supervised the supply and delivery of goods to public utilities.
Bertrand was educated in Cape Town, South Africa and in France.
