Did you know the characters for clout are the same in Japanese (影響力) as they are in traditional Chinese (影響力)?

 

Today we talk to Joanne Warrin. A long term Aussie expat in Asia, Joanne calls Kyoto, Beijing and Shanghai her second, third, and fourth homes. Originally from Melbourne, Joanne's journey started with her own major sports event business in Japan, before working at the Australian Embassy in China, and most recently serving as Global EY Private Brand, Marketing & Communications Leader, Family Enterprise. 

 

We asked Joanne to take us on her journey to Asia capability by nominating a food, a song, a movie and a person that help us understand what being an Aussie, with clout, is all about.
