The most rewarding part of what I do is helping clients realise their objectives, whether over-coming challenges or accelerating their go-to-market efforts

I co-lead Blick Rothenberg’s US practice team, advising companies on options and best practices for expanding internationally and explaining all requirements and considerations for compliance, hiring talent and any required accounting support. With over 25 years’ experience, I have worked closely with many internationally-headquartered companies entering new markets in the UK, Europe, Middle-East, Africa and Asia Pacific.

I work on a variety of projects which range from supporting early-stage start-up clients looking to sell internationally, setting up operations, local partnership and hiring key personnel, and supporting overseas customers to increase sales.
