- $IOTA has announced an expert advisory board to drive TWIN’s real-world trade solutions, made up of appointed members from the UK trade industry.
- Members include Mark Johnson, former national director of Kuehne & Nagel, and Dr. Anna Jerzewska, founder of the trade and border consultancy.
$IOTA has launched a new expert advisory board to leverage industry experience into the development of the Trade World Information Network (TWIN) infrastructure.
As reported by CNF, TWIN has become one of the network’s signature developments, and 2026 marks a milestone year for the product as it moves beyond proof of concept to actual deployment. Earlier this month, we reported that TWIN went live across the UK border to digitize paper-heavy processes for the UK government’s trade and border authorities.
In order to further accelerate this momentum, $IOTA Recognizing that TWIN requires more than just networking skills, we have introduced a new board. It requires “the insight of experts who have spent years with first-hand experience with trade processes, tariff regimes, and regulatory frameworks.”
Market-driven, expert-driven: $IOTA Expert Advisory Board.
With their extensive experience across the UK trade ecosystem, they will help ensure that what we build for @TWINGlobalOrg is practical, interoperable and production-ready.
