Much depends on the nature of your business and the trends in your particular market. There are risks, of course, that can be mitigated (if not avoided entirely) with a strategically-empowered approach. Having said that, it is worthwhile to remember that success in the global marketplace can bring many rewards: multiple growth opportunities, new market gateways, revenue stability, increased profits, expanded resource access, greater corporate visibility, higher brand value, asset diversification, innovation incentives, synergistic partnerships, and economies of scale.

Helping businesses — from startups to multinationals — attain these valuable benefits, in virtually every corner of the world, has been a challenging and rewarding endeavour that continues to change as business cultures evolve, economies become more inter-dependent, and new technologies break down old barriers while global politics puts up new ones.

Throughout an international career that now spans + years, I have built an eclectic background in global communications, cross-cultural negotiation, partnership building, overseas market analysis, project management, digital media production and high-tech venture startups. This broad experience, combined with valuable corporate and public sector connections around the world, is of potential benefit to any business that seeks highly-qualified support when pursuing new opportunities in the global marketplace.
