"I would highly recommend Brian for any type of consulting that requires intimate knowledge of Chinese markets, customs and business practices.  I hired Brian to brief our board of directors on how to do business with the Chinese... Brian gave a very detailed and worthwhile presentation in a way that held everyone's attention.  He is a very knowledgeable businessman who quickly gains the respect and confidence of others."
