Testimonials
An Expat Academy membership is just what every Global Mobility professional needs! It has so much to offer ranging from networking, learning about several topics and GM trends, benchmarking and gaining different peer perspectives, to the strategic input of the ever-supportive core team who check-in regularly to help with any challenge(s) being faced.
I have personally been part of this community since 2019 and am glad to have continued to be the beneficiary of its offerings even when I switched employers.
