With 25+ years of experience in complex global negotiation, I bridge deep academic insight with real-world executive practice. Holding a Doctorate in Cross-Border M&A Negotiations, and serving as a Professor of Cross-Cultural Negotiation, my journey includes leading post-M&A integration strategies across the US and the EU, and serving as Africa, Asia & Pacific Sales Director for a luxury goods leader.

My research on AI and negotiation has been featured at leading international forums:
