Claude's Bio Claude Rety is a global entrepreneur, connector, and builder who has spent the past two decades shaping business ventures across education, entertainment, and supply chain innovation throughout Asia.

He is the CEO of Rockhill Asia and RH1, and the Chairman & Co-founder of Ni Hao Ma — The Mandarin Learning Lab, which reimagines how people learn Chinese through immersive, engaging experiences. His mission is to create meaningful impact by enabling people and businesses to unlock opportunities, generate value, and inspire emotion.

Claude's professional foundation was built in corporate leadership — including senior management roles with CT Corp (Carrefour Indonesia) and Central Group (Thailand) — before venturing into entrepreneurship. Since then, he has built companies that merge creativity and operational excellence to empower individuals and organizations across Asia.

An American citizen with French roots, married to a Chinese wife and a proud father of three, Claude embodies multicultural leadership — bridging East and West while fostering innovation, collaboration, and personal balance.

Claude's Advice "Build a solid routine. Take care of yourself first, then your family, and let business come last. If you're not healthy, grounded, and surrounded by love, business success won't matter. Health and family are the foundation — when those are strong, business will thrive naturally."
