He got his doctorate in linguistics at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), lived in Berlin before moving to Tokyo, Japanwhere he taught at Dokkyo University. These experiences in vibrant, bustling metropolises on three continents have broadened his understanding of the cultural aspects in communication we all face in multinational organizations. So much so, that he now teaches courses on intercultural team management in Cologne.
