"Thank you Andy and Peter for a great event. In a short time, I saw a lot of facts which gave me a good overview and deep insight about where I am and how others perceive me on my resume. Learning networking as a "human capital" activity...great! And a lot more useful information. I've been in Shanghai for three years, but on this evening I realized I am moving in the right direction. And with your structure I have won a closer insight on where to focus. Thank you so much!" - Business Operations Consultant
