SALIC Sustainability Audit
Assessed a Saudi agricultural investment company across environmental, social, governance and food-security objectives with a three-person team.

Takeda × Moderna Negotiation
Simulated a cross-border vaccine licensing negotiation between a Japanese and an American pharmaceutical company in a four-person team. Mapped the stakeholder terrain using BATNA and cultural comparison, built concession packages across licensing duration and cost sharing, and delivered a twelve-page playbook with five trust-building initiatives.
Japanese Workplace & Social Norms
A cultural intelligence study of Japan built on structured interviews with a native Japanese professional and an American immersed in Japanese society. Analyzed power distance, collectivism and trust-building through the GLOBE and Hofstede frameworks, synthesized into a twenty-page report on engaging in Japanese business settings.

Led the original venture pitch for Lycanyx in an evidence-based entrepreneurial strategy course, testing the market assumptions, value proposition and revenue model against structured research and competitor benchmarking.
