Alejandra Castaneda

I am Alejandra Castaneda, a seasoned professional with over 10 years of experience in international trade, logistics, and business development across LATAM and the United States. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed import projects exceeding USD 15 million in the oil and gas industry, with expertise in customs processes, free trade zones, international logistics, and global sourcing strategies.

Building on this extensive operational and commercial experience, I founded LiME USA LLC, a Florida-registered company dedicated to creating sustainable commercial bridges between the United States and Latin America. My vision for LiME is to empower Latin American brands to expand internationally by providing end-to-end support in market access, regulatory compliance, and strategic commercial execution. Over the past five years, I have led LiME’s operations, guiding companies through cross-border logistics, trade representation, and U.S. market entry strategies. I combine hands-on execution with strategic guidance, ensuring that every brand we represent achieves both operational efficiency and market visibility.

LiME USA – Executive Overview
LiME USA LLC specializes in international business development, trade representation, and logistics coordination between the United States and Latin America. Our services
include:

- Regulatory and documentation support (FDA, labeling, export compliance)
- Commercial strategy and U.S. market positioning
- Cargo consolidation, logistics coordination, and representation with distributors and port authorities

In 2025, LiME USA participated in the Americas Food & Beverage Show in Miami, establishing partnerships with logistics operators, distributors, and international brands. We currently represent three brands under signed commercial development contracts and are leading a Trade Mission in November 2025 to strengthen relationships with ports, chambers of commerce, logistics operators, and Florida business development entities.

Value Proposition
- Proven track record: over 10 years managing multimillion-dollar international trade projects
- Integrated approach: commercial, regulatory, and logistical expertise under one platform
- U.S. presence: Florida-registered company with structured operations and active clients
- Regional impact: strengthening bilateral trade between Florida and Latin America-
Female leadership: Latin American entrepreneur driving cross-border business integration

Objective
Through LiME USA, I seek institutional partnerships and support from foundations, women’s business organizations, and economic development entities to enhance our participation in the November 2025 Trade Mission and expand our capacity to connect Florida-based companies with Latin American markets, fostering growth, inclusion, and global collaboration.
