Corina Goetz delivered an outstanding and insightful session on the Middle East Luxury Market to our students, at Goldsmiths University of London. Her depth of knowledge and engaging presentation style captivated the audience, leaving them with valuable perspectives on this fascinating and complex region. A key takeaway from the talk, “Don’t assume all clients are the same,” resonates deeply as it highlights the importance of cultural nuance and understanding in navigating luxury markets. We truly appreciate her support and expertise in enriching our students’ learning experience.

I joined Corina and the Star-Cat team a few months ago with the Middle East Membership, having lived for several years in the Middle East, I was interested to refresh my knowledge and experience.

I must say I have found it extremely informative and very beneficial. Corina’s knowledge and experience is 1st class, and explains everything in such a friendly and easy to understand way.

The monthly masterclasses are brilliant and very topical and up to date, and the website is a great resource to find out information about the Middle East region.

I highly recommend Corina for anyone wishing to learn about doing business in the Middle East – you name it, they’ve got it!

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.

We reached out to Corina to brief employees going to Saudi Arabia, we gave her a short time frame but she did it and hit the brief perfectly. The employees and team supporting them feel they know what to do and not to do, but also a lot more about the culture and changes.

I would highly recommend Corina, we will be using her again.

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 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.

I have been avidly following Corina’s posts and advice for a while and was very keen to take advantage of her ‘face-to-face’ training, which was arranged in 2022 covering the whole of the Middle East.

It’s safe to say that I found this training invaluable and was very impressed. Corina is extremely professional and knowledgeable plus a great communicator! Would I recommend her and Star-CaT? Definitely, yes!

As I am establishing my life and business in Dubai, UAE, I was introduced to Corina whose expertise and passion have been instrumental for me.

I love her humanity while being so beautifully professional. Corina is a gem one must have in close proximity when integrating the cultural polarities of the Middle East, personally & professionally. Merci Corina.
