Discover the hidden career accelerator that most US graduates never consider: European multinationals operating in America. The UK, Germany, and France alone - the top three countries for foreign investment in the US - operate 20,000 subsidiaries employing 3 million Americans, with foreign investment having doubled over the past decade. These companies offer a strategic path to senior leadership that bypasses the overcrowded competition at traditional US corporations. Learn from someone who lived this journey - going from engineering graduate to CEO of a French subsidiary in 14 years - and discover how proper planning and coaching can compress this timeline to just 10 years. Learning Objectives: You'll walk away with a clear understanding of why European companies prioritize developing American talent for leadership roles, the four critical success factors that distinguish high achievers, and the strategic importance of headquarters assignments in career acceleration. Whether you're a recent graduate or early-career professional, you'll leave with a concrete 10-year roadmap and the strategic framework to immediately begin positioning yourself for this accelerated leadership track.

Started my career with my first job abroad - best decision ever! Now I help recent grads and young professionals land their first international roles. From resumes to visas, let's get you hired! Ready to launch your career abroad or with a foreign company? I know exactly what it takes. I started my own career by landing my first job in a foreign country and different language, an experience that shaped everything that followed and led to 25 years of international leadership across American, German, and French corporations. Whether you're targeting foreign owned companies in the US or opportunities directly abroad, I specialize in helping recent graduates and young professionals navigate the practical challenges of international job hunting. Together, we'll identify your transferable skills, decode job postings across different markets, navigate visa and legal requirements, and assess when language skills become crucial versus nice to have. My coaching focuses on the real world essentials: translating your university projects into globally relevant experience, understanding how American directness plays in German precision focused interviews, adapting your resume format for different markets, and positioning yourself as the ideal candidate who brings fresh perspective to established international teams. From virtual interviews across time zones to understanding work authorization processes, I've guided dozens of twenty somethings through successful international job searches. Having mentored young professionals who've landed roles at top global companies, I know which concerns keep early career job seekers up at night, and we'll tackle them head on. That first international opportunity changed my entire career trajectory. Let's make sure it does the same thing for yours. Industries I have served: Automotive, chemical, bearing, wood, food, marine, oil & gas, steel, cement, mining, pharmaceuticals, mining, pulp & paper, textile, rail and wind power.
