Mohammad Ehteshamul Haque
Mohammad Ehteshamul Haque is a practitioner first. Trained as a Mechanical Engineer, he later studied Business Management at the Indian School of Business and INSEAD. He spent over a decade managing South East Asia operations for a US multinational, overseeing offices in Delhi, Shanghai, and Manila. The pandemic forced his teams onto screens. Plenty of books addressed cultural awareness. None tackled the craft of writing across cultures. The gap fascinated him enough to spend five years researching and writing this book. He lives with his wife Sayma and their two children.
