A message from Cultural Mixology Founder, Jamie B. Gelbtuch
As the Founder of Cultural Mixology, a certified WBE, I am always looking for new and innovative ways to help people manage the complexity, uncertainty, and personal challenges presented by living or working in an international environment. I lead the strategic thinking process, through coaching, training, mentoring, and consulting, to support individuals and organizations that want to thrive across cultures.
I have worked with individuals and teams from PepsiCo, NielsenIQ, Apotex, Lazard, Philip Morris International, AustralianSuper, NYC Emergency Management, NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene, US Department of State, DSCU, IBM, UBS, Rohde & Schwarz, Midea, Ørsted, Coach, French-American School of NY, DoubleVerify, The Juilliard School, Boehringer Ingelheim, Environmental Defense Fund, The Nature Conservancy, Atlas Corps, Upwardly Global, The Counselors of Real Estate, Georgetown University Alumni Career Services, Western CT State University, The Healthcare Association of NYS, and The Community Center of Northern Westchester among others.
Passionate about equipping people with tools to flourish during times of change and cultural transitions, I have spoken at numerous conferences and authored or co-authored 20+ articles including “Buyer Beware: Don’t Invest in Cross-Cultural Training You Don’t Need” (Training Industry Magazine), “Leap of Doubt?” (HR Director), “Four Tips for Coaching Expats to Success” (International Coach Federation), and “Ways to Handle Conflict on Multicultural Teams” (Project Management Institute).
I am a graduate of Thunderbird School of Global Management (MBA), Georgetown University (BS), and NYU (certificate in Executive and Organizational Coaching). As an ICF credentialed coach (PCC level), my interest in neuroscience led me to become a certified provider of the BrainStates Management™ assessment, helping clients increase self-awareness, cultural agility, and leadership effectiveness.
In addition, I hold a Certificat Pratique de Français Commercial et Economique from the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry. I am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and a certified career coach with GetFive. My leadership in the Society for Intercultural Education, Training, and Research (SIETAR) includes having served as a board member for the Metro NY chapter and as a member of the USA conference planning team for six years.
In my spare time, I volunteer as a Chairperson for Georgetown University’s Alumni Admissions Program in NYC, overseeing ~100 alumni interviewers and serving as an emeritus Board of Advisors member. An active runner, I have written about my experience in Like The Wind and Inside Fitness magazines. My core values are aiming for excellence, making progress, and committing energy to priorities.
A cosmopolitan globetrotter, I am fluent in English, Spanish, and French, with a working knowledge of Portuguese and basic Arabic. I have lived abroad and pursued my wanderlust throughout five continents.
