Working with Chinese suppliers or business partners as a Western SME often means navigating different communication styles, assumptions, and operational realities. I help Western SMEs close these gaps through customized consulting, bilingual communication support, and on‑the‑ground problem‑solving — enabling them to move forward with more clarity, confidence, and reduced risk while staying fully in control of their projects and business relationships.
Typical support includes:
Who This is for:
Western SMEs working directly with Chinese manufacturers or exploring business partnerships with companies in China, and needing practical, on-the-ground support to bridge communication gaps, align expectations, and collaborate more smoothly.

Please reach out to me via the email below with a brief description of your current situation, so we can have focused conversations and determine the right level of support for your case.
As a bilingual speaker of Mandarin Chinese-English based in China with 13 years of Western-China business experience, I help Western SMEs communicate effectively and resolve issues with their Chinese suppliers or business partners. I combine consulting, English–Chinese interpretation, and practical on‑the‑ground problem‑solving — all focused on helping clients move forward with more clarity, confidence, and reduced risk while staying fully in control of their projects and business relationships.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked with colleagues and clients in 15 countries across Asia, Europe, and the Americas — including Austria, China, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Singapore, Sweden, the U.S., and Uruguay — building lasting business relationships with clients in different countries.
If you’re working directly with Chinese manufacturers or business partners and need on-the-ground support in China, feel free to reach out below via email with a brief description of your current situation — so we can have focused conversations and determine the right level of support to help you collaborate more effectively with teams in different parts of China.
Managing Chinese suppliers or business partnerships with Chinese companies from a distance can be challenging, especially when language barriers, cultural differences, and operational realities stand on the way. I help you navigate these challenges on the ground in China, so you can communicate effectively, resolve issues efficiently, and move forward with more confidence and clarity — while you remain fully in control of your projects and business relationships.
While I typically work directly with clients in different countries, I have a professional network in China that can tap into other tasks. For instance, I cooperate with the talented China-based Finnish creative director, photographer, filmmaker, and drone operator Tuomas Harjumaaskola, for high-quality imagery across Asia.
