Scaling and expanding your company operations internationally can be very lucrative when done right and challenging when planning is not conducted strategically. Establishing a global brand is all about understanding the market environments, local cultures and business laws. Thinking that you already know what to do without understanding the market is setting yourself up for failure. The roadblocks you face and the revenue potential in a foreign market will not be the same as in your current market. As a leader, you have to be willing to change your mindset and be flexible with your strategy to enhance the effectiveness of your foreign-based operations.

Danila Palmieri, the Founder and CEO of Connect Solutions, gives us insight into the dynamics of scaling companies into foreign markets.

Transferable skills, those that can be used for many jobs in a variety of industries… we all have them. Maybe you cataloged digital assets for a tech company or interfaced with customers for an apparel brand. These are both skills that can transfer into a social media manager position. Your organization, attention to detail, and time management skills could also make you an excellent project manager. The question is, do you know how to leverage these skills in any new career path you choose to take?

Che Watkins, Executive Director of the Atlanta division of Braven, is an expert on just that. She was able to leverage the skills she developed during her time as a banker into a career in the nonprofit world, where she eventually found her way to Braven, a nonprofit organization focused on the educational and economic development of underserved youth of color in the community.
