A QUICK INTRODUCTION: CRAIG SHIM
_
Â
I’m the Director of Alphacrane Intercultural Specialists and an intercultural business consultant. I help senior leaders and organisations perform at their best whenever culture influences how they lead, work together, serve culturally diverse customers or engage internationally.
With more than 30 years of cross-cultural experience — including 14 years consulting to global organisations such as Boeing, Nike, PepsiCo and Mastercard, as well as Australian Government agencies including Prime Minister & Cabinet and Austrade — I support leaders navigating complex cross-border decisions with greater clarity and confidence.
I also advise government panels on intercultural capability and international engagement, particularly where decisions carry reputational exposure or long-term relationship risk.
