Introduction: Do you want to grow your business the right way internationally? Too many companies treat international markets as they do the US, resulting in a business model that is mostly trial-and-error based that leads to a weak international foundation; costing the company thousands in the short and long run.
As an American, I have been building brands across Europe and Asia for over 25 years. After having sold my latest project, I have relocated back from France and am available on a consulting basis.
