Gabor Holch’s speeches address the challenges and triumphs of international executives on East-West assignments: intercultural research, live cases and above all, stories of managers he advised, coached and interviewed over 20 years of consulting.

​

An expat since age 4, Gabor developed his passion for cultural diversity into an early career in diplomacy before he transitioned to consulting. He moved to China in 2002 and became the first foreigner granted a Certified Management Consultant degree in Mandarin Chinese. In 2005 he founded his Shanghai-based business, Campanile Management Consulting.
