Corina and Star-CaT have been super helpful in shaping our business development strategy through their thoughtful masterclasses on Middle Eastern culture, covering the latest advancements and projects in the region.

Additionally, they provide beautifully crafted card templates, perfect for sharing with my clients on special occasions. The cultural awareness this has brought to our communications has deepened our Middle Eastern relationships.

I cannot recommend Corina enough to anyone who is looking to learn more about the Middle East region and/or expand their business to the Middle East.

We are early in the process, but after just one trip and spending time with Corina there, it is certain she is the right expert resource for us. We will undoubtedly be leaning on Corina more as we look to grow our business in the region in a meaningful way.

Not only did Corina and Star-CaT help me secure a new client, but they also provided invaluable advice and strategic insights that have significantly enhanced my understanding on how to best work with them.

I wholeheartedly recommend Corina to anyone seeking to understand the dos and don’ts + tricks in the Gulf region. Their exceptional skills, dedication, and unwavering support make them an invaluable asset.

Corina is the ultimate professional. We have been working together personally for 5 years and Corinthia London is proud to have partnered with her and Star-CaT for 10 years.

We always felt that our guests from the Middle East Region are in the very best hands, her service is superb and Corina personalises every stay. In addition Corina is a cultural ambassador and was generous with teaching the teams about the fascinating culture from the Middle East.

Corina taught me so much about Saudi but most of all that business is not just business. You need to take the time to understand the culture and only then can you do business successfully.

It seems so simple yet it is the most important ingredient. Saudi is certainly very different to the West. Without relationships in the Middle East you are nothing and business is impossible. Star-CaT understands this and teaches you all this from a Western perspective.

As two women expanding our business into Saudi Arabia, my co-director and I have put into practice many of the insights, tips and knowledge shared by Corina during our regular trips to Riyadh and Jeddah.

Corina has a vast and very accurate knowledge of Saudi culture, people, hospitality, business protocol and what to expect (or not expect) as a foreign business opening in the country.
