Over a 20-year career spanning APAC and the U.S., I’ve worked with companies, schools, and organizations in various capacities: in intrapreneurial roles launching new initiatives and building partnerships as part of business development; in intercultural consulting roles where I’ve custom-designed and/or delivered solutions including trainings, workshops, retreats, and facilitated conversations; and as a global leadership & intercultural coach, guiding managers and their families to see their own cultural lenses and understand different cultural worlds so as to navigate between them skillfully.
Now, I also work with leaders and organizations to reimagine abundance and forge a future that prioritizes well-being within planetary boundaries.
Here’s my LinkedIn. If your organization would like to explore opportunities to work together, please get in touch.
What people who’ve worked with me have said
“I had the pleasure of meeting Jane during my stay in Taiwan and my focus on bridging our Swedish HQ with the Taiwan office. During that time, we realized that many differences within culture sometimes made the daily work more frustrating than was needed. With the cross-cultural training that we conducted with Jane, we could create a better understanding of different cultures and countries. Together with this, we could create better harmony and efficiency in decisions, processes, and routines. Jane, as a person, is very good at listening and understanding the needs of the customer and, in a brilliant way, visualize and find common ground where everyone felt safe and open-minded. Together with her presentation skills and way of communicating, she can steadily work on the process of accepting different ways and opinions. Her knowledge of several cultures and international business makes her understanding of potential problems and opportunities highly valuable.”
— Johan Borggren, former VP Global Marketing, Fractal Design
“Most importantly, I enjoyed discussing my goals with Jane and how to implement them. I think doing this type of session a few weeks after arriving in Taiwan but also not waiting too long is very useful to allow me to reflect on my management style and the implications working with my team in Taiwan. Jane took the time to research my interests and tailor-made today’s session. I particularly enjoyed the discussion on how to implement organizational change within L’OREAL Taiwan. Today’s session is relevant for me as an expat but my local team could also benefit from a group session together.”
— Kenneth Campbell, former Country Manager, L’OREAL Taiwan
“Jane is a talented professional who delivers what she says she will deliver. Her comments from workshop attendees were always positive. She understands cross-cultural issues on a very personal level, and is herself a third culture person.”
— Adam McMillan, Director at The Community Services Center Taipei
“Jane is an excellent partner! She is reliable and friendly, sharp and asks good questions, proactive and willing to dig and investigate and learn on her own. Jane is detail-oriented and thorough in her work. She is extremely easy to work with and we are fortunate to have her as one of our Global Partners at The Kaleidoscope Group!”
— Dawn Bryan, Senior VP of Global Practice, The Kaleidoscope Group
“As the inventor of Lovinflame’s patented technology, I’m very pleased with Jane’s dedication and capabilities in branding, marketing, and business development to bring Lovinflame to global markets. She is very eager to learn and always willing to put more efforts to do a good job in our new products. Our successful market entry into the U.S. and Japan were not easy to achieve and have proved her positive attitude and professionalism. Especially under limited time and resources, Jane had to work from nothing to something most of the time. We are impressed with her marketing skills. Jane will certainly be an asset to any group with which she associates and works. I would recommend her without reservations.”
— Dr. Wei-Long Chen, Professor, Chaoyang University of Technology
