I am Kjeld Friis Munkholm 孟可和.
I solve problems by buliding cultural bridges
Cultural Bridging
With 26 consecutive years of experience in China, I offer precise cultural bridging services to help international companies navigate the complexities of doing business with China. Understanding the subtle interrelations between China, the EU, GCC, and LATAM markets, I support seamless collaboration, negotiation, and communication across borders.
Cultural gaps often create friction in areas such as decision-making, hierarchy, timelines, and negotiation styles. My service eliminates these barriers by aligning expectations and translating business logic beyond just language. I work hands-on with your team to ensure mutual understanding, build trust, and prevent costly missteps.
Whether you’re entering the Chinese market, managing cross-border operations, or aligning regional strategies, my approach is practical, structured, and grounded in decades of real-world business experience. Turn cultural differences into a competitive edge and ensure your partnerships and projects are built on clarity, respect, and long-term synergy.
Interim Management
Ensure stability and momentum during transitions with my interim management solutions. I provide focused leadership, bridging gaps and driving results when your organization needs expert support the most.
Rescuing Supply Chains
When quality slips, deadlines are missed, or supplier communication breaks down, I step in locally to resolve issues fast no guesswork, no delay. I’m already on the ground, ready to act.
Advisory to The Board
Strengthen your board with expert, strategic guidance. I bring clarity to complex issues, enabling informed decisions and strong governance helping your company advance with confidence, vision, and accountability.
Navigating Regulations
Regulations in China and ASEAN shift fast. I help you navigate certifications, permits, and entry requirements cutting through red tape to keep your business compliant, agile, and ahead of change.
Recovering Stalled Negotiations
Unblock stalled deals with cultural fluency, negotiation skill, and trusted local relationships. I align interests, rebuild trust, and move discussions forward bridging gaps where deals risk delay or failure.
VC and financial channels
Access the right VC and financial channels with strategic insight and local know-how. I connect you to trusted investors, funding partners, and capital routes aligned with your sector, stage, and goals.
