Abdelhak Benkerroum
Corporate Trainer | Consultant | Author
I’m from Casablanca, Morocco. I graduated from Texas A&M University with an MBA in International Business, and from Marseille School of Business KEDGE with a Masters in Corporate Strategy. I then worked for a US Fortune 500 company as project manager in Houston then in Paris, then as Regional Account Manager in Dubai in charge of multi-million Dollars clients such as GE Healthcare and Schlumberger.
In 2013, I got awarded the Confucius Scholarship to come study Chinese in China. So I dropped my job in Dubai, sold my car and my belongings, and showed-up in China. After learning Mandarin for a few months, I started my own business by opening an import/export company in Ningbo. From there my Chinese story begun. I started going around Zhejiang visiting factories and finding suppliers. I met a multitude of companies that made amazing products, but many didn’t know how to talk about them, or how to sell them to foreign prospects. So I opened my second company Eastheimer International to fill that gap with one mission in mind: Providing training and consulting to companies to help them grow their people, grow their business, and beat the competition. A few months into business I was delivering Sales trainings and Leadership trainings to SME’s, Chambers of Commerce, multinationals, and SOE’s all around China.
In 2015 I became university lecturer. In 2016 I made it to a magazine cover. In 2017 China Customs Publishing House published my book “We Have A Deal - 优势成交:老外这样做销售”. In 2018 I moved to Shanghai to expand our training and consulting business. This year will be the best ever.
I’m native speaker of English, French, and Arabic, and have a good understanding of Spanish and Chinese. Get in touch. If I can’t be of service, I might know someone who can.
