"I worked for a Fortune 500 company for over 10 years in a global marketing capacity and saw how hard it is to develop the skill set necessary to be effective globally. With this program, I want to give back what I learnt to help small and medium size business be more effective expanding overseas," said Eva Velasco, one the company founders.

While there are numerous advantages to establishing the position of a global marketer within an organization, implementation of the role often requires outside assistance. Coaching is often leveraged by many organizations as it can provide a hands-on approach to the development, communication and role out of the position and the model, working to ensure a greater amount of success long term.
