    Hong-Kong University - Mar 30 2016

  • Benoit was my coach to understand Chinese and Hong Kong culture and values and it was a very usefull and value experience. He has a vast knowledge of the Chinese and Hong KOng culture and buzz which facilitates new peoples arriving in Asia to start working without any gap.
    Phillips - Mar 30 2016

  • I have done an excellent Interculture training with Benoit, I do recommend it to anybody interested to know the Chinese Business Culture.
    BASF - Mar 30 2016

  • I had the opportunity to meet Benoit in my first days of integration as an expatriate in HK. Benoit has provided me a very thorough and friendly service well documented and supplemented by his impressive personal and professional experience in the region. I highly recommend him.
    BNP Paribas - Mar 30 2016

  • Beniot was assigned to provide cultural information to myself and my family prior to our move to China when I accepted the position to join Microsoft. I found Benoit to be highly informative and clearly a subject matter expert on China and its culture. However, one thing that I found that sets him apart from many other people, was the way that he delivered the information. He is a very engaging person, has an affable personality and extremely professional in the way that he answers questions, queries and concerns that we had. I would most certainly recommend Benoit as somebody who could give you a very clear picture to life in China if you are ever considering a move to this part of the world, which I know it can be very daunting for some people.
