Meet Alberto Goetzl

Alberto Goetzl is the founder and president of Seneca Creek Associates, LLC. Mr. Goetzl served on the staff of US International Trade Commission (USITC) and has worked for and with major industry associations and companies. He has written on a wide range of subjects ranging from sustainable forest practices to trends in global forest products supply and demand. He pioneered a supply chain risk assessment for US hardwoods and authored a landmark study on the illegal logging issue and its impacts on U.S. industry competitiveness. The study led to enactment of amendments to the Lacey Act in 2008.  Mr. Goetzl is past Chairman of the Maryland Sustainable Forestry Council. When he’s not “working” professionally, Mr. Goetzl manages a horse farm that his family owns in the Frederick, Maryland area. The farm has a small woodlot of mixed upland hardwoods that he is bringing into a more productive condition.
