Currently based in Asia, he travels extensively to all parts of the world and represents in-depth knowledge and perspectives of fast-growing Asia and its diverse opportunities and cultures. Many "experts" often fail to engage audiences due to lack of local knowledge and insights, and/or they address audiences in the West claiming to know Asia very well. But few actually have that expertise. Martin Roll effectively bridges this divide and mixes his strengths on boardroom integrity and global leadership experience with cultural-driven insights.
