"One of our goals is to be where our clients are and Asia is an increasingly important market for many U.S. businesses," said North Highland CEO Dan Reardon. "Even in the current economy, business needs in China - and Shanghai in particular - remains strong. Having a local presence will enable us to better deliver the guidance and range of services our clients need to succeed there."
The North Highland office will be located in the Luwan District of Shanghai, located on the west bank of the Huangpu River. International business expert Michael Adick will head up the new office. Adick brings 15 years of experience in industry and consulting, including banking, sales and marketing management, and strategy development. Prior to joining North Highland, he was with Volksbank Hoerstel eG, Siemens Ltd. China and BearingPoint China.
