Company Overview

EME Career Consultants (上海美谊商务咨询有限公司) was established in Shanghai as a joint venture in February 2014 as a cross-cultural performance training, coaching, consulting, and events platform based on the principle that understanding, acknowledging, and adjusting AMA Values (Attitude, Mindset, and Approach) will lead to better outcomes in any cross-cultural business engagement.

EME's primary target audience ranged from MBA students, where its co-founder, Gene J. Hsu, was an adjunct instructor (Shanghai International Studies University SISU MBA, China Eastern University of Science and Technology ECUST MBA), to Chinese white-collar professionals enrolled at Hong Kong University—Institute of China Business, where he taught a 16-hour cross-cultural management course over five semesters.

When Gene moved his family back to the US (Irvine, California), in June 2017, we rebrand our training, coaching, and advisory services as EME Consultants LLC (DBA EME China Consultants), helping Westerners better understand how Chinese people think, why they behave the way they do, and how to create more constructive business relationships with them.

Our mission is to improve US-China relations one relationship at a time through our media, books, podcasts, online training programs, and China advisory services.

You'll have the flexibility of a hybrid role, with the opportunity to work remotely and attend occasional meetings in Irvine. Your responsibilities will be tailored to your interests and can include any marketing function you wish to develop to help us reach and engage more prospects and move them through our marketing funnel.

A brief history

I was born and raised in Atlanta, GA, graduated with an engineering degree, and eventually found myself in Asia. After 10+ years of traveling Greater China for business, I married a girl from China that I met in Atlanta and embarked on my first China expat assignment in 2011.

I have since worked as a consultant in China for MNCs in JVs with Chinese SOEs; started my own training, coaching, and consulting agency; and taught cross-cultural management at various Executive and MBA programs throughout China.

My mission to empower more people to achieve greater harmony in multicultural environments continues with the support of countless mentors, mentees, like-minded entrepreneurs, and Kajabi.

Meet

GENE J. HSU

Hi, I'm Gene. I am so glad you're interested in changing your approach for doing business in China. CURIOSITY is the first step towards developing greater cultural awareness and empathy to overcome any unintended myopic tendencies.

I've been on this journey for over 20 years, and I consider myself a lifetime learner, practitioner, and master.

In 2017, I began a transition from consultant and corporate trainer to becoming a thought leader for developing essential soft skills for real success in China, and this masterclass is the result of listening to your challenges and aspirations over the past year.

It's time to "forget everything you know to be true" and develop a new modus operandi (MO) to create a new reality for yourself and your organization in China.

READ MY STORY

"Working in a diverse cultural environment like Shanghai, your creation of the Cross Culture Performance model and your group coaching sessions were extremely valuable to me and others that attended the session. Your experience working with leaders in China provided unique and practical insights into how to bridge cultural differences in real-world settings. Your coaching approach and the use of your framework helped people to get beyond the cultural stereotypes and understand how to show empathy and build relationships across cultures."

James Warner
Vistage China CEO

"Insightful, I found this of real value. Thank you Gene, even after my 21 years of living and building businesses in China, I've learned something new. This was packed with so much useful mindset insights, am going to watch it over again. Being able to hear the experiences of others in the Q&A is a real plus."
