Customized International Business Training Programs and Workshops
“I have had a productive academic career that has encompassed living and working in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. I did my graduate work at the Stern School of Business, New York University where I obtained a Ph.D. degree in International Business. My interest in exploring the impact of cultural differences developed and grew as I experienced and moved across different cultures. It has been an enlightening journey that has led to personal growth and advancement with insights which I would like to share with others.”

We draw upon case studies, participants’ experiences, and best practice frameworks that have been developed to understand alliance development.
