Haiyan Wang, an expert on global business strategy, is slated to speak at the National Chicken Council’s October 28-29 Annual Conference at the Ritz-Carlton, Washington D.C. Wang is managing partner of the China Industry Institute, a research and consulting organization with a focus on creating winning global strategies that leverage the transformational rise of China and India.

Wang has co-authored two highly acclaimed books:  Getting China and India Right and The Quest for Global Dominance, which received the Axiom Book Awards’ Silver Prize as one of the world’s two best books on globalization and international businesses. Her opinion pieces has appeared in top international media such as The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, BusinessWeek, The Economic Times, China Daily, and The Times of India, among others.  She also is a regular columnist for Bloomberg BusinessWeek and blogs for the Harvard Business Review.

A native of China, she has spent the last 20  years consulting for and managing multinational business operations in China and the United States across several different industry sectors.  In a global market that is increasingly Asia-focused, Wang’s expertise and insight on strategic directions in the East is undeniably valuable.
