Biography
I started to study Chinese in 1989. I have a PhD in Oriental Languages and Cultures. Over the past decades I have spent years of my life in China, studying, conducting research, and working in several functions in academic, governmental and business environments.
In 2002 I established ChinaConduct (www.chinaconduct.com). Our core business is cross-cultural training, coaching and advice. Our slogan is: "Don't let your cross-cultural experience be a Chinese puzzle. Manage it."
I alternatively work in Europe and in China as a consultant and trainer (and I write books about it).
