Join us as we gather the global tribe each month to discuss global trade—including exporting, importing, and foreign direct investment.
This session will kickoff with a couple special spotlights...
- Kathryn Read on Trade and Tariffs and Opportunities Europe and Asia
- Amr Abdul Salam Almekhlafi on Investment Opportunities in Yemen
- Titi Abisogun on a New Young Global Leader Initiative with Thunderbird in Nigeria
- And a roundtable with additional experts joining and contributing to the discussion
We share what we're seeing, offer analyses and ideas, discuss options, connect... and ultimately provide insights, and hope... encouragement and support for leaders growing globally. The conversation is one hour, and then we end till next time.
What did we learn? Where are the opportunities? When can we do this all over again?

Welcome global tribe!

Kathryn believes that business is done between people, and she focuses on building strong relationships that serve as a solid foundation for business. Most of her work centers on assisting entrepreneurs in the consumer goods sector to bridge the gap between their home markets and either Asia or Europe.
When she's not traveling the world, Kathryn enjoys playing clarinet in her local town’s wind orchestra and sharing her love of the outdoors with her Rover Scout group.
