Hamilton Manufacturing
I’ve had the privilege of working with Matt Smith since 2015, when he joined the Governor’s Trade Mission to Mexico and Peru—a mission I led as part of the Idaho Department of Commerce team. That trip marked the beginning of many years of collaboration, both internationally and domestically, as we worked together to expand Hamilton Manufacturing’s global reach.
Matt’s recommendation speaks deeply to the heart of what I strive to offer: strategic guidance, practical tools, and a personal commitment to helping companies grow through international trade. His trust and partnership over the years have meant a great deal to me, both professionally and personally.

Hamilton Manufacturing
“Over the last 20 years, Hamilton Manufacturing Inc. has exported products to over thirty-five countries and five continents. We view international sales as a healthy avenue to stable markets.
Sarah Massie played a crucial role in facilitating the relationship between HMI, the State of Idaho, and our pursuit of new international markets. Without her support we would not have invested in developing many markets, which ultimately generated substantial company growth. Her expertise backed by her outgoing personality delivered HMI exceptional results by assuring we were in the right place at the right time to close trade deals.
She went above and beyond to make sure we had the tools needed to hit the ground running during international trade missions. If we had trade questions Sarah was our contact person. As a company planning on developing international trade I highly recommend consulting Sarah to navigate compliance/regulatory issues, trade agreements, and geo-political uncertainties.”
AeroLEDs
AeroLEDs manufactures high-efficiency aircraft lighting elements. I had the pleasure of working with Susan Calvin for several years during my time at the Idaho Department of Commerce, where I supported the aerospace industry through international trade shows and export promotions.
In 2019, Susan attended an export compliance training and, like many operations managers, walked away understandably concerned—particularly about the legal implications of unintentional violations. When I launched S Massie Consulting in 2020, Susan became my first client.
I developed a customized Export Compliance Program for AeroLEDs and provided employee training, helping transform her initial concerns into confidence and clarity around export regulations.

AeroLEDs
Sarah Massie has been a pleasure to work with both professionally and personally. AeroLEDs began working with Sarah in 2016 when she led the State of Idaho’s efforts to help our company and others expand their sales internationally through attending international trade shows. She is not only knowledgeable about Export Compliance laws, but she made an extra effort to research questions I had when she did not immediately have the answer.
It was after I attended an Export Compliance workshop that I became extremely concerned that our company was not following the required protocols when servicing our customer base. The last thing I wanted was to learn that our products ended up in the wrong hands and that we could be fined and or face jail time. I spent a lot of time online researching how to implement a compliance program and was overwhelmed with trying to navigate the export websites.
Instead of spending endless hours trying to figure it out ourselves, we decided to hire Sarah to implement a customized Export Compliance Program for our company. The entire process was very streamlined and it didn’t interfere with our day to day work. I learned a lot about Export laws throughout the process and I feel as though a weight has been lifted, as I am now confident that we are doing everything we can in hopes of preventing our products from being shipped to the wrong end user.
My experience working with Sarah, her depth of knowledge, and the peace of mind the final compliance program has brought to me is what leads me to strongly recommend Sarah Massie for all your export compliance requirements.
Norton Strategic Consulting
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mark Norton since 2016 as part of the I-90 Aerospace+ Corridor Conference & Expo. Over the years, we’ve collaborated closely to shape a program that delivers meaningful value to the aerospace and advanced manufacturing sectors across the Inland Northwest.
I’m proud to contribute my insights on export compliance and international trade, and to leverage my network to strengthen the event and support the businesses it serves.
Mark Norton
“I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Sarah Massie for nearly a decade through our shared commitment to the aerospace and manufacturing industries, including the I-90 Aerospace+ Corridor Conference & Expo. Her leadership and expertise in global trade, particularly ITAR and EAR regulations, have consistently elevated the quality and impact of our programming. In 2023, she served as both moderator and panelist for a session on ITAR and cybersecurity strategies, where her insight helped guide a timely conversation on compliance, risk, and supply chain readiness.
Sarah is widely respected for her ability to translate complex regulatory frameworks into practical, actionable strategies for businesses. She approaches each engagement with clarity, integrity, and a collaborative mindset, whether she’s supporting small manufacturers or presenting to executive-level stakeholders. Her thoughtful approach to compliance—grounded in strategy, training, and leadership engagement—makes her an exceptional partner for any organization navigating global trade.
As I’ve said before, Sarah has deep experience in all things export-related. If you are looking for a true, consultative professional who can help you navigate the intricate world of global trade, I can’t recommend her enough. After our collaboration over the years, including a recent regional export webinar, it is clear she brings a unique mix of technical depth and real-world perspective. Sarah is my go-to referral for companies seeking guidance on export controls, trade strategy, and compliance best practices.”
