New York, NY --- December 23, 2024 -- The Global Chamber New York City is pleased to announce that Charles Bernard has been appointed to serve as the advisory board chair for 2025. He is the Founder of Criteria for Sales Success (CFS), a Manhattan-based management consultancy specializing in strategic revenue planning and cross-departmental collaboration to achieve measurable results. Charles is also the founder of Collavia, an AI-driven sales enablement platform designed to transform how companies empower their teams. Collavia is built around Charles’ philosophy of Enabling Buying rather than Enabling Selling.
He is a renowned sales improvement expert, keynote speaker, and founder of two transformative organizations that are reshaping the way businesses approach growth and client engagement.
Charles has declared his mission for 2025 To Awaken the Global Sleeping Giant in the City That Never Sleeps. “New York City is an international center for all things business. We have a great opportunity to establish this chapter as an epicenter to drive new membership in the mid-size and larger businesses sectors for the Global Chamber,” comments Charles Bernard.
With over 20 years of experience in direct sales, sales leadership, and management consulting, Charles has dedicated his career to helping companies exceed revenue goals while aligning their strategies with modern buyer behavior.
As the highest-performing regional manager for strategic accounts at General Electric, Charles consistently demonstrated his ability to deliver exceptional revenue and business growth.
Susan Gitenstein Assadi, Executive Director, says “Charles has served on the advisory board for four years and has always been an active member of the Board. I am excited to work with him as he implements the 2025 campaign to help grow our chapter. I am looking forward to working with him to attract new business sectors, establish more like-minded organizational partnerships and develop new keynote series to support member growth and success. As part of our growth strategy, we will be amplifying the Global Chamber NYC as a thought leadership hub to attract these new global businesses.”
The Global Chamber NYC Chapter hosts recurring meetups and on a frequent basis, we host globinars on topics that are educational to our members regarding export and import, doing business globally and connecting with members of our virtual community of top-level executives around the world.
Susan Gitenstein Assadi is the Executive Director of the Global Chamber NYC Chapter and also is the founder of her PR practice GAPR, which focuses on building brands for her clients and helping companies expand their exposure through coverage in the top tier business press.
We are actively seeking partnerships with likeminded organizations. Currently the NYC Chapter has partnerships with World Trade Week NYC and IWEC Foundation.
