The International Professional – Herman Warren’s South African Odyssey

As part of our series on living and working abroad, I have a fascinating conversation with an American working in South Africa’s corporate sector. Herman Warren has been a consultant, entrepreneur, and corporate executive in Johannesburg for the past 20 years and has never looked back. On the first interview in our series “The International Professional,” Herman and I discuss navigating the cultural landscape in South Africa, what “maybe” means in corporate negotiations, and how to build a rich and meaningful life in your adopted country.
