Today,
we live in a world that companies, international traders, and individual
business professionals are now pushed to operate on an international
plain, one without boarders. I.R.D.I.
is a collection of talented professionals located in Japan, North
and South America, China, New Zealand and Europe, that have come
together to provide services and support our international business
community.
After graduating from Sacramento
State University with a degree in International Relations (Govt.)
and Developmental Economics. I worked for California Tourism and
Trade Commerce in the economics division specializing in Pacific
Rim affairs.
Wanting to get a better understanding
of the International trends of culture, business and economics that
impact California and the Pacific Rim economy. I moved to Japan
where I stayed for 4 1/2 years. While there I worked as a corporate
business instructor teaching at Universities and companies in Osaka
Japan. In other functions I also was a consultant for both Japanese
and American firms to help them facilitate business interactions.
Over the years many professionals
and business owners both in the U.S. and Japan have conveyed to
me the problems and concerns that hold them bound to overly competitive
domestic markets. And keep them from pursuing much less competitive
more lucrative international markets. Challenges such as research,
locating of manufactures, buyers, maneuvering through customs,
communicating in a foreign language,
and obtaining legal support. Providing solutions for small and midsize
companies and producers the back bone of the world economy in relation
to these specific problems is the focal point of our mission.
With support from our committed management
staff in various regions,
Mr. Liu Hong Kong, Mrs. Lum Shanghai, Mr. Wong Xian of China,
Mr. Morinaga, and Mrs. Makino of Japan.
Ms. Prattley New Zealand,
Mr. Blunt of Europe, Mr. Sanchez of Mexico,
Mr. Ortega of South America Brazil. We together are able to direct
our domestic teams and provide you with the International support
you need.
Providing you with
real world solutions for real world problems.
