I help European SMEs, research agencies, and social impact organizations understand Taiwan and Chinese-speaking markets through localized research, insight reports, and cross-cultural strategy support.
Assessing feasibility, analyzing target demographics, and mitigating risk before expanding to East Asia.
Adding multilingual survey capabilities, field supervision, and regional insight reporting to project teams.
Structuring impact evaluations, fair trade supply studies, and socio-economic community surveys.
Providing interactive workshops on Chinese and Taiwanese business etiquette, communication protocols, and negotiations.
Structured research and training engagements built to answer one specific business question at a time — not open-ended studies.
Is Taiwan or the wider Chinese-speaking market worth entering for your business? This package gives you a clear-eyed view of market size, competitive positioning, and regulatory or cultural entry barriers — structured to support a confident go/no-go decision, not just a data dump.
Local consumers, read in their own language — not filtered through a translation. I design, coordinate, and execute bilingual research projects that turn complex consumer realities into clear commercial direction.
A campaign that works in Europe rarely translates directly. I help European brands keep their core identity intact while adapting messaging, packaging, and digital strategy for genuine local relevance.
Small misunderstandings compound into delayed negotiations and stalled projects. I run targeted cultural training for European SMEs, management boards, and client-facing teams working with Chinese and Taiwanese stakeholders.
Drawing on a background in social economics and fair trade, I bring specialized research capabilities to ethical organizations and businesses working within — or seeking to understand — East Asian communities.
Providing the structured accuracy, transparency, and data privacy expected by European enterprises.
Surveys and interview scripts are verified across Chinese, German, English, and Spanish to eliminate leading questions or translation biases before deployment.
We validate quantitative surveys with targeted qualitative in-depth interviews (IDIs), ensuring statistical data is backed by deep narrative context.
Research projects can be designed in line with ESOMAR principles and GDPR-conscious data handling, safeguarding participant privacy and intellectual property.
The following representative anonymized client scenarios illustrate typical challenges, methodologies, and business outcomes in European–East Asian engagements.

Based in Heidelberg, Germany, I operate as an independent consultant bridging European business objectives and East Asian market realities — bringing senior-led research and genuine cross-cultural fluency to every engagement, with roots in social-impact work across Germany and Spain that continue to inform my NGO and sustainability research.
Born and raised in Taiwan, based in Germany, with professional roots also in Spain — a genuinely three-sided view of how European and Taiwanese business cultures read each other.
Trained across social economics (M.A., University of Valencia) and advertising (M.A., National Chengchi University, Taipei), combining structured market research methods with an eye for the human decisions behind the data.
Working fluency in Mandarin Chinese, German, English, and Spanish — not translated insight, but insight formed in the language it happened in.
Faster research cycles through AI-assisted tools, with every conclusion checked and interpreted by a person who has actually worked across these markets.
I work directly with founders and SME decision-makers — no account layers, no junior researchers between you and the analysis.
