With 30+ years' experience in international marketing, channel management, operations and law, I offer deep knowledge of the commercial, cultural and legal requirements for doing business in a wide range of challenging markets. This is the result of 20+ years working in marketing and channel management and 10 years in law....based in Dubai, Windsor (UK), Hong Kong and Toronto. In many ways, I am an “Expert Generalist” who can get up to speed quickly on most any difficult assignment, understand the issues and the landscape, set priorities, and get things done. My colleagues and clients praise my ability and willingness to take on tough problems and follow them through to conclusion. Presently I am working on three projects. First, I am providing operations and client management support to Lesperance & Associates, a boutique advisory firm that provides specialized advice to HNW individuals and families (and their advisors, family offices, etc.) in the areas of citizenship, residency and international tax planning. (https://lesperanceassociates.com/)Second, I am leading an advisory team working to return a historic European distillery of a unique aged spirit to full operations in a very challenging market. On this project, my team and I are applying a range of skills including business strategy, brand development & management, operations, sales, marketing and distribution. Thirdly, Evizone, a software-as-a-service start-up in secure messaging and communications governance. Evizone has developed several cutting-edge services and I am excited to head up operations which, in a start-up, includes sales operations, management, administration, legal, compliance, partner programs, marketing ... anything that needs to be done to support the mission.
Listed skills include Management, Strategy, Business Development, Emerging Markets, and 46 others.
