From Local to Global
Guidance on preparing go-to-market plans for international growth
for your product or team and what to expect in the international space.
Insight into risks and challenges as well as cultural aspects of international expansion.
International Growth is high on the agenda
Taking a product or services into new markets requires research, planning and investment. There are many practical aspects to be considered as well as cultural perspectives and market expectations. Similarly, establishing teams in new locations brings new challenges and demands. Leadership teams must be capable of recognising and handling the specific dynamics of a multi-location, multi-cultural organisation. Whilst knowledge and experience can be gained firsthand, it takes time. Seeking advice and guidance from those who have already made this journey is an enabler to move faster and avoid the pitfalls.
Alexandra Larsen Advisory provides advice and guidance based on competence and extensive experience gained through executive leadership, particularly in the Fintech space. With years spent building relations and delivering software to international banks in multiple geographies, we have significant insight into the questions to be answered and the preparations necessary to be successful.
