Going Global … The Five Myths That Can Kill Your Dream … And What To Do About Them
If you’ve ever given thought to going global, you’ll want to be sure to attend NAWBO’s November meeting as we present our international event report focusing on how to develop international markets and how to partner with your competitors to succeed globally. Our featured speaker will be Ioana Engstrom, Vice President of Business Development at RIEtech Global, LLC (formerly Sagebrush Technology), a company leading a network of businesses that deliver technology solutions to solve rapidly changing customer challenges.
In this fast-moving story-based talk, you’ll travel with Ioana as she creates business deals from Mexico to Japan … and beyond. It will be a fun, meaningful blend of “Around the World in 80 Days” with an M.B.A. as she discusses the importance of building long term, trusting relationships no matter the industry and why it is the key to success in the global marketplace. Ioana will debunk some of the urban myths of global business by sharing her own experiences in the international marketplace and why attitude, flexibility, and building relationships are so important – now!
