As part of our Business in the Modern City programme, we were delighted to have Jeroen as a guest speaker to provide advice and learnings from his extensive knowledge on doing business in Russia. The session was packed with information and guidance on cultural considerations. One student commented that ‘Jeroen's session was fantastic and opened my eyes to doing business in Moscow which was not a consideration prior to this course’. His session was insightful and allowed us to see beyond certain stereotypes but at the same time highlighting that there are universal approaches that apply to many business negotiations in Russia. A memorable session with one excellent learning point, ‘ Jeroen taught us about how to be deal-makers and ways to avoid being a deal breakers in Russia’.

Brilliant performance, professional business attitude, integrity at every stage and "easy work with" approach - these are the overall summary characteristics that could be outlined following the event. We are happy to recommend Jeroen Ketting and his team to any future client and project.

We appreciated the presentation of Jeroen Ketting during our International Business week. Our companies were impressed by his knowledge of the Russian market. His tips and tricks for entering the Russian market were very practical and much appreciated. We recommend Jeroen Ketting to everyone who wants to do business with Russia. ​

I am very happy to see the inspiration of our management team, which resulted in planned and systematic teamwork on gap analysis and strategy formulation. This is tremendous and magic work, made by Jeroen.

Jeroen Ketting improved in a very effective and efficient way my knowledge about the Russian culture. During his training, I got a good understanding of the differences and similarities between the Dutch and Russian culture, so than I can even better interact with my Russian employees. ​

Jeroen has provided Mead Johnson Nutrition with an accelerated understanding of the Russian market and psyche. This has allowed us to move much faster in tailoring our offer to the unique needs of Russia whilst still maintaining the competitive advantage we have developed in other markets.​

Jeroen’s presentation enabled our mixed audience to take a look in the past, analyze the present and get insights and inspiration about the future in both dimensions: political and economic. As an experienced presenter, Jeroen managed to provide our listeners with profound and actual data, yet keeping it sharp and entertaining. Forget about being bored. I’m sincerely jealous for those, who are going to encounter Jeroen’s speeches for the first time. ​

I would recommend Jeroen as an executive coach for the work with management teams. The customization of the program that Jeroen did for our team members and business is excellent - all sessions and discussions went extremely well. Looking forward to new projects and follow ups together with Jeroen!

Structured, interesting, based on experience. The material is presented with clear direction to the listener: the presentation is not overloaded and at the same time informative. I am also grateful for the positiveness and jokes!

Jeroen is an expert indeed and provided deeper insight in a range of topics we discussed: political, cultural and historical. Furthermore he is very accessible and openminded as well, which makes him even more a great support now and hopefully in the future as well when we move to Moscow. A great experience of high added value.

Many thanks once again for the training you run for our team in Slovenia. It was right in time and very helpful. I’ve seen how people were opening like the flowers to express their feelings and opinions. And no doubt for me that your session helped us to get a “fresh” look at current processes in company and how we can deal with it.
