About Qian

If your brand is growing between China and Europe, you face three challenges:being understood**, **being consistent**, and **retaining meaningacross cultures that don't operate in the same way. This is exactly where I come in.

For over ten years, I've been helping brands clarify theirstrategy**, align their **leadership teams**, and adapt their **storytellingto be readable and relevant in each market. I've supported groups likeLVMH, L'Oréal, Danonein China, as well as over30 companiesentering Europe.

My strength lies in bridging the gap between your Chinese, European, and international teams. Where cultural complexity creates ambiguity, I bring **clarity, consistency, and direction**, through an approach that blends **strategy, facilitation, and cultural intelligence**.

Instead of providing you with an 'on-screen' strategy, I create the human alignment that allows your brand to move forward faster and more accurately.

What I bring to you

  • Clear and actionable brand strategy (China/Europe)
  • Positioning and messages adapted to cultures
  • Relevant storytelling for your local customers
  • Alignment workshops for leaders & teams
  • Consistent and local activation roadmap

Projects I lead

  • Strategic overhaul & positioning
  • Market entry/adaptation (China ↔ Europe)
  • Leader/team alignment workshops
  • Brand architecture & messaging
  • Activation plans and marketing recommendations

If your brand seeks to grow internationally with **clarity, alignment, and cultural intelligence**, let's talk. I'll help you build a consistent, impactful, and understandable brand wherever it goes.
