Expertise

I can answer questions about international marketing, especially for the Japanese and Asian markets--how to sell your tangible or intangible products and services, how to research market data, how to search for potential partners, and to open distribution channels.

Experience in the area

I have 20 years experience selling and marketing products and services in Japan and other Asian markets. During those years, I established a local office and negotiated a joint venture. I also initiated and directed product development projects for multi-lingual products. I dealt with Japanese corporations as well as with industry and scholary associations and government agencies
