Brett Bruen: "Si no te internacionalizas, en poco tiempo te quedas sin empresa"
Brett Bruen (Rochester NY, 1980) fue diplomático de Estados Unidos y ejerció como director de Gestión Global de la Casa Blanca durante la presidencia de Barack Obama. Su especialidad es la utilización de comunicaciones estratégicas para la gestión de crisis y conflictos. Sostiene que los mensajes deben adaptarse totalmente a lo que el receptor o cliente espera, algo que no hacen la mayoría de páginas web de empresas. Es precisamente esta herramienta de Internet la que por sí sola es ya un elemento de internacionalización, asegura, y las que no miren más allá del mercado local, regional o nacional corren serio riesgo de desaparecer.

When I left the government in 2015, I felt that we were making good progress.
