Andrew has spent the past six years lecturing and consulting (negotiation, sales management) in Shanghai. Before making Shanghai home, he has worked in Taipei and HK (banking) and on the China desk in NY (WICO, Paribas). He is a regular lecturer at New York University's Sanghai Campus (with East China Normal). His specialty is international negotiation.

Andrew first came to Asia in 1990 after receiving his MBA in International Finance from New York University Stern School of Management. He gained extensive senior sales and management experience with leading financial institutions in Taipei, Hong Kong, Kyoto and New York before he set up full time as an independent consultant and trainer in Shanghai.

Target Audience, Purpose, and Related Projects

Andrew writes DiligenceChina with an eye towards senior international managers based outside of China (New York) who have financial or oversight responsibility for China business. If you are signing checks or making China strategy from 12 hours away, Diligence China is for you.

ChinaSolved is for international managers already working in China. It is intended to give expats, overseas Chinese, and locals ideas and advice about front-line management issues in China.

BestPracticesChina helps front-line staffers and new managers execute their job responsibitities in keeping with the highest international standards. It is heavilly weighted towards multinational sales and marketing -- though HR managers will also find it useful.
