About Us

At home or abroad, people and organizations need both global and local competencies, networks and strategies to thrive in unfamiliar settings, to benefit from diversity and to adapt international practices to local conditions. GlocalU's training and consulting services help individuals and educational institutions engage successfully with other languages, cultures and systems - connecting you locally, globally.

We are passionate about helping individuals and institutions fully understand, communicate and apply their potential in global spaces and local places in order to forge their own unique paths forward. Many competitors will try to fit your cases into their templates. We collaborate with you to create custom, case-specific solutions. We are based in Quito, Ecuador, and we serve clients in all countries.
