Professionally she spent the first ten years of her career in operations, manufacturing and supply chain in Asia beginning with running factories in China.

Her company improves operations and outcomes for clients with business globally. IRD has clients and projects in Argentina, Israel, South Africa, Australia, China and beyond.  Examples of the work include: Establishing Procedures and Systems for a new Chemical Factory, Structuring a Joint Venture, Creating Supplier Management Systems, Troubleshooting Import Questions (HS code, duties, tariffs, etc), Sale of a Manufacturing Plant in China, Establishing an International Distributor Network, etc.  Clients range from Fortune 500 multi-nationals to SMEs across the globe.
