“Yong-Ling and her team have an impressive track record working with China-based companies to link strategy to execution,” said Craig Kerr, PRTM director and China office lead. “eGate’s business fits naturally with PRTM’s focus on operational strategies that drive the business results global companies need to maintain leadership positions. We are already working together on joint opportunities, and the combined team is excited about the possibilities provided by joining forces. We are particularly pleased to add such an experienced and proven talent as Yong-Ling to our leadership team in China.”

eGate staff has relocated to PRTM’s Pudong district office in Shanghai. PRTM is also retaining eGate’s Beijing office. Consultants in both offices provide strategic consulting to China-based companies as well as multinational corporations looking to establish operations in China.

“While helping our clients establish a strategy execution system using the BSC methodology, we recognized our clients’ needs to transform core functional areas such as product innovation, supply chain and customer value management. PRTM works with its clients in these key operational areas to achieve breakthrough results,” said Yong-Ling Sun. “With our combined expertise, we are helping companies in China successfully execute their strategy and achieve outstanding business results in both the domestic and global marketplaces.”
