Dossier INT/GL — International Relations

Every market has its own rulebook.

Dan's international work spans Latin America — Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic — Asia, including China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, and Thailand, and Eastern Europe's Ukraine, Poland, and Bulgaria. As Chief Executive Director of Kayastha Global Associates, and through ventures like Salud Health USA's 28-country CareClix telemedicine footprint and Compass Living's expansion into Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, he's built more than 25 years on the belief that market entry succeeds or fails on local credibility, not headquarters strategy.

That has extended into community as well as commerce, including past involvement with the Asian Community Resources Center.
