About Christina

My specialty is provide full-service consultation for businesses, particularly in finance, management, and operations. I provide businesses with timely, accurate guidance on matters such as tax exposure, risk assessment, and management processes. Whether you are facing an audit, restructuring compliance, or implementing your first protocols, I will help you get through it with minimal headache, giving you more time to focus on the big picture. I work to support the needs and schedules of clients, from single issue consultations to longer-term engagements. With more than a decade of combined experience in more than ten countries, I have assisted businesses of all sizes to reach their aspirations, manage risks, and solve problems.

Since 2013 I have experience working with a diversity of international and multilingual businesses across many industries, including the film, tourism, banking, Web3/crypto, non-profit, tech, luxury commodity, entertainment, medical services, and gastro sectors. While completing a Ph.D. in German and French business history, I developed a hands-on knowledge of tax law, immigration, and business regulations in Germany, France, and the United States. I have since advised multinational companies in Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East. My aim is provide experience suited to today’s global marketplace. I am passionate about delivering solutions for businesses striving to navigate a fast-paced, global environment.
