Over the last 30 years of involvement in international business, the founder of Fluent In Foreign™, along with his colleagues, has received numerous requests from companies, both large and small, seeking help in entering foreign markets.

Although industries and countries these companies represented or wanted to reach were different, the issues and problems they faced were very similar. Among the most common, was finding the right local partner, bridging the cultural gap, securing financing, obtaining political risk insurance, protecting their intellectual property and dealing with corruption.

As the global financial crisis of 2008 spread, the demand from companies seeking to expand abroad, especially to emerging markets, grew as businesses sought venues to bolster their sagging domestic sales.

In response, three years ago, Mr. Gordin, along with a team of renowned professionals, began to develop easy-to-use, cost-effective methods to help large numbers of companies seeking success in their international expansion. During this time, the Fluent In Foreign™ method and platform was born and the following two years were spent developing and testing our proprietary Road Abroad Toolbox™. As we enter 2012, Fluent In Foreign™ has positioned itself as a cutting edge resource for anyone wishing to enter the exciting, but challenging world of international business.
