In today's competitive landscape, global companies that think globally but respect local values and judgments, allow their businesses freedom to act locally. In the spirit of thinking globally and acting locally, global businesses loosen their local rules just a bit and focus on the local markets and management styles. Now, consider this perspective as you are faced with expanding operations in the United States - this can be an overwhelming task!
Join our panelists for a deep dive into their experiences of curating US business units as part of their global organizational strategy. Learn from our experts on what works, and for what to watch out for.

I'm a business/marketing strategy consultant who helps both businesspeople and students grow and succeed.
Having built several well-known brands and grown revenue for companies ranging from technology start-ups to FORTUNE 500 companies, I share a wealth of practical experience and knowledge with my consulting clients and students. Recent consulting projects include competitive analysis, value message development, content strategy, Go-to-Market strategies, and creating learning and development programs for marketing and product teams.
Currently, I teach graduate courses on integrated marketing, business strategy, and strategic communication at Columbia University and NYU.
My first book is being published in fall 2022 by Wiley, titled: "Make It In America; How international companies and entrepreneurs can successfully enter and scale in U.S. markets."
