Belgian American Chamber of the South

VP of Marketing of Management inSites, Melissa Ratliff, has joined the Belgian-American Chamber of Commerce of the South Board of Directors.

According to a recent news article from Global Atlanta,

“The Atlanta-based Belgian-American Chamber of Commerce of the South has added new board members that help the organization better reflect its regional focus. 

Long established in Georgia, a proven beachhead for Belgian firms, the chamber has always sought to reach out to other Southern states to provide a bridge for Belgian companies investing in one of the fastest-growing regions of the U.S.”

Ms. Ratliff is among three new board-appointees. About her new position, she was quoted as saying:

“I’m vice president of marketing at Management inSites (MI) in Charlotte, North Carolina. MI bridges academic and business experience to provide superior consulting and operational services for U.S. market entry, particularly through our International Business Incubator (IBI). In this function, I assist with all levels of the new companies' operations, while focusing on strategic advice and marketing and sales strategy. Our clients span industries and are B2B, B2C, and non-profits. My experience working with European companies of all levels will prove a valuable asset to the BACoS board.”

Congratulations to Ms. Ratliff on this new appointment!

I have a foreign-based client who has been in the U.S. market for a few years, but was struggling with their sales agent relationship. MI's unique IBI program allowed this client to bring order processing and marketing in-house, without having to add staff. Now the business is in a better position to penetrate the U.S. market. I will definitely refer future clients to the MI team.
Joseph J. SantanielloAttorney, Shumaker Attorneys at Law
MI provided knowledge, clarity and support on all of the things that were required for us to set up in the USA. It would have been a much longer and more costly process without them and many things would have been missed or problematic. Melissa and her supporting team were invaluable in getting us started. I'm happy to recommend them and their International Business Incubator service.
Ian CromieDirector
We regularly refer our clients to Management inSites for assistance with setting up their U.S. business, and we work with MI to provide visa support for foreign-owned U.S. companies. They have a wealth of expertise and knowledge of multiple industries, business best practices, and practical experience that makes working with them easy, and sets companies up for success.
Meredith W. BarnettePartner, Garfinkel Immigration Law Firm
Working with a foreign subsidiary is very different from working with one whose parent company is in the U.S. The questions you need to ask are different, and the process itself can be drastically more complicated. We enjoy partnering with MI because they know about all of those pitfalls and can help companies grow without making the classic mistakes.
Doug MitchellSenior Sales Executive, USI Insurance Services
We hired MI to act as our controller since our U.S. team is small. And we are glad we did! We unexpectedly had turnover in our internal bookkeeping position, and MI was able to seamlessly carry out the functions while they searched, hired, and trained our new employee.
Jaume GrauManager, TecCoat
We have worked with MI across several clients. We find that we are able to get answers and process tax returns faster when MI is involved. MI's experience and knowledge of the US makes them a great partner for companies entering and navigating the U.S. market.
David JonesPartner, GreerWalker CPAs & Advisors
I have been referring clients to MI for over ten years because their services are tailored to foreign companies and meet the operational needs my clients previously struggled with. Plus, MI’s end of year financial packets are professional, making my firm’s tax services easier.
Elizabeth P. MurphyTax Partner, Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP
The support we’ve had from MI during our first year in the U.S. has been invaluable…[It] ensured that we were able to hit the ground running and focus on building revenues as quickly as possible.
Hugh FreerPresident, MasterMover, Inc.
As a family-owned and operated business, it was important that the team we worked within the U.S. understood our needs and worked for our company as if it was their own. Management inSites has been that and more.
Alessandro MelottiCEO, Dulcop International
With Management inSites, we knew we were in great hands. Their internationally-minded consultants and professional team supported us at every step along the way. MI gave us the start we needed.
Stefano CazzanigaCEO, LC America
From helping with business plan writing to hiring personnel and looking for a showroom, MI’s IBI service has taken the burden off us so we can focus on sales and really penetrate the U.S. market.
Giuseppe BacciCEO, Bacci America
MI’s consultants optimized our U.S. entry strategy by directing us to form a joint venture with a complementary product offering to achieve the economy of scale needed to support our U.S. operations.
