Great minds think together

Fluent in written and spoken Mandarin, English, and Russian, and conversational in French

Forgot if her black suede pumps are in Shanghai or San Francisco

Anna Lecat Cohen

Anna grew up in Ukraine in a family of entrepreneurs, watching both her parents and older brother run their own successful companies. Their passion, risk-taking, and care for their employees and customers fueled Anna’s own entrepreneurial spirit.

Fifteen years ago, Anna founded Streamline Alliance, where she could leverage her knowledge of best manufacturing practices in the west and her intimate understanding of the Chinese business world. Key to her success is her perfect command of the Mandarin language. Anna has personally visited hundreds of Chinese facilities to find the most capable and reliable partners for her clients.

With her boundless energy and enthusiasm for developing global business synergies – and her disregard for normal sleep patterns – Anna is constantly on the lookout for fellow entrepreneurs who are on the brink of that great new invention that Streamline can manufacture risk-free in China.
