Here's your first lesson in international business:
When given a list of executives to contact by email who hail from foreign countries and who have complicated foreign names, Google them. Sometimes Jan is a man and Francis is a woman (or a doctor). Some of the names might seem fairly girly but belong actually to a gentleman in Belarus.
And for goodness' sake, if you're going to guess . . . Guess right.
I won't tell you how I came to learn this very important lesson. Just trust me.
