International Experience

Immersion in business and social cultures outside the US has given Hal a global perspective. He created his first worldwide marketing and sales organization in 1970, serving the US, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East and the Soviet Union. He has served 8 years in European-based assignments.

He has held operating responsibility for five companies located outside the US: In Germany, France, and the UK. He lived with his family in The Netherlands and Germany for a total 6 years. He has traveled frequently throughout many of the world's industrialized countries.

He clearly sees the contrasting paradigms that set the few very successful internationally active companies apart from the rest, and how companies can switch to the more successful paradigms.
