"A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war: wide-awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance (...) When a man has fulfilled all four of these requisites - to be wide awake, to have fear, respect, and absolute assurance - there are no mistakes for which he will have to account; under such conditions his actions lose the blundering quality of the acts of a fool. If such a man fails, or suffers a defeat, he will have lost only a battle, and there will be no pitiful regrets over that" (Carlos Castaneda).

Since 2010, Lina has consulted 100+ projects across a dozen industries and 200+ individual clients, all looking to enter or expand their business in China. She speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese, but her true speciality is cross-cultural communication: paying attention to nuances and context beyond language.

Lina is the Founder & Managing Director at the LITAO Consultancy Group. LITAO works to bring the best ideas and services to China market and make them appealing to Chinese businesses and consumers. Within 5 years of operations, the company worked with over 100 companies and 200 individuals offering tailor-made strategies and go-to-market operations for governments, corporations and SMEs

Lina's life’s work involves bridging the gap between assumption and truth, conception and reality, business and passion—Lina believes there is so much potential in the world just waiting to be realized. Still, many people with good ideas don’t always have the practical tools, discipline or business sense to implement them, especially in China. That’s where Lina comes in.
