Chris Kuehl has developed quite a following in our region as a key note speaker with ICE (International Credit Executives) and most recently for the annual Wisconsin global trade conference held each spring (Milwaukee World Trade Association, Milwaukee Metropolitan Association of Commerce, state and federal commerce offices, trade associations across the state, and WCTC.. and more).
If you missed him last year, make sure you don’t miss him now, to hear the unfiltered business take on the global economy as it moves toward recovery. As a corporate intelligence strategist Chris Kuehl sees the big picture and understands the details of how to move forward in global markets and ride out the waves of economic turbulence.
Corporate and competitive intelligence, economic forecasting, strategy development, with a twist of humor...
Those who have heard Chris Kuehl’s presentations take away the ability to think about and develop strategic global business plans. First time audiences are amazed at his ability to convey the complexities of the global economy in terms anyone can comprehend. Combining an economist’s training with a comedian’s off-beat sense of reality, Dr. Kuehl will help you understand the current status of the global economic recovery and projections for the near future.
