Note: this interview was recorded in late February 2020, before the spread of COVID-19 caused international business travel to grind to a halt. However, even while meetings with foreign counterparts have had to move into the virtual realm, and companies are relying entirely on digital channels for their international communications, differences in cultural etiquette and protocol still need to be considered.
