I had the opportunity to develop a sustainability strategy for the fast growing international airport of Xi'an. On behalf of Fraport AG, one of XXIAs' major shareholders, I assessed the existing infrastructure and did an extensive benchmark with best-practices and state-of-the art approaches from around the world. An important aspect of the project was to make suggestions that are applicable for the Chinese needs.

During my first work experience in China, my duties included correspondence with clients from Europe, North America and Israel, translating orders and discussing them with my co-workers, visiting factories and production sites, and basic quality control. Ningbo Jiangdong S&J Textile is a large producer for apparel with clients mostly in Europe and North America.
