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 and Star-CaT helped us during Covid when Gulf customers couldn’t travel to London. Our revenues were down hugely and we needed to urgently find a way to create additional income .

We discussed several Social Media Strategies and started implementing them. One of them resulted in us making 3x the Revenue of direct outreach.

We are so grateful that Star-CaT helped us overcome this difficult time and we are using these strategies even now because it gives us better exposure and additional revenues.

Corina is an incredible thought leader and expert in all things Middle East. I recently purchased some of her masterclasses and material, and they have helped my business reshape and strategise my approach in the region.

Corina has blended her expertise in travel, sales, marketing, and branding into a complete package to help anyone better understand expanding globally.

I particularly enjoy reading her weekly newsletter about the region. I would recommend her for every company looking to better understand the cultural, and business differences of working in the region.

There was absolutely a direct impact of working together, shown explicitly by sales from the GCC region.

The team’s confidence has grown so much since working with Corina.

From the formalised training delivered seamlessly for the whole company to the day to day check-ins and support, the team have been given the tools and insights to manage GCC clients and opportunities effectively like never before.

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.

Corina has worked directly and indirectly with us at the Corinthia in London for 11 years. She was part of the hotel’s opening team in 2011 and integral in building our Middle Eastern business. Later on, for the past 7 years, she consulted for the hotel.

Through the years, we have very much appreciated Corina’s input, hard work and commitment. Her relations with HNW individuals and families in the Gulf led to many new, loyal guests who have come to be part of the Corinthia family.

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.
