Franchise Consulting Testimonials from Our Clients

Nancy Charles-Parker, former Commercial Counselor at U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait

I have known Sanjay for 16 years, starting when I directed the U.S. Export Assistance Center for the Rocky Mountain area and later as the senior trade official in three U.S. Embassies in the Persian/Arabian Gulf. He was instrumental in bringing a premier chocolate company into the U.A.E., marking their first store outside North America. This achievement reflects his exceptional foresight, as that company is now exploring other international markets. Sanjay is a creative marketer who ventured into manufacturing to grow a brand, and he possesses a personable demeanor. Generous, hard-working, and knowledgeable about the Persian/Arabian Gulf, Asia, North America, and Europe—having lived in all these regions during his brief yet active life—he stands out in the field of franchise consulting. For anyone seeking client testimonials about market entry strategies, Sanjay would be my first choice as a consultant or executive. I highly recommend him, and his Stellar Eastern reviews speak to his expertise.
