International business is all about connecting people. Companies, customers, educators, regulators, policymakers, we all reap the benefits of trade and the unfettered flow of ideas. I am skilled in developing market entry strategies, working with foreign governments, market analysis, identifying suitable business partners, planning, negotiating mutually beneficial solutions, and leading international and multicultural project teams. My philosophy: listen first, always come prepared, treat everyone with respect, and see every situation as a learning opportunity.
