Jean Yves Le Corre is an expert and consultant based in China. His mission is to assist executives and organizations in implementing effective control, auditing as well as financial and operational management practices in various cultural contexts in Asia.

Jean Yves Le Corre settled down in Shanghai in 2005 after ten years corporate experience. Previously, Jean Yves had served in several multinational firms mainly in internal audit, finance, and organization consulting roles. His last position was an internal audit manager for Heineken Group, a world leader in the brewery industry, being locally based in Paris

Jean Yves is a strong supporter of the concept of 'localisation' in management practices in Asia, whose principle is that Western practices are generally ineffective in view of the significant cultural differences, forcing executives and managers to adapt and 'rethink' their ways of working and managing with local teams.

Jean Yves runs training and coaching programs specifically in the areas of the auditing, risk and control as well as operational and financial performance in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam. Since 2006, Jean Yves has delivered nearly 120 seminars at which have participated around +1500 executives. He is the author of several articles in professional journals and newspapers and the author of one practical guide, which aims to help companies in China and Asia to improve internal control and performance management practices.
