Since 2009, my career has taken me to the Middle East (to live and work out of Dubai in the wider region, most recently working with Saudi companies) and South East Asia (mainly Malaysia, Singapore and a client in Philippines). I love cultural diversity and learning about societal and corporate culture. I have learned a lot these last years on etiquette and business norms in different counties and cultures.
