Meet Corina Goetz —
Your Gulf Business Insider
Over the past 20 years, I have helped thousands of professionals, entrepreneurs, and teams overcome their anxieties about doing business in the Gulf — and turn cultural confusion into real commercial results.
As a non-Arabic-speaking Westerner,
I know exactly how overwhelming it can feel to walk into a room in Riyadh, Doha, or Dubai and wonder:
“Am I saying the right thing? Is this respectful? Am I making a mistake I can’t see?”
I have been there — and I have built my career helping others move past that fear and into confidence, clarity, and connection.
My background in luxury hospitality gave me a front-row seat to how Gulf clients think, operate, and build trust. I have worked with royalty, HNW families, and major brands — and I have also seen businesses blow their shot because they did not understand the cultural rules of engagement.
That is why I created the Gulf Success Playbook — to help you avoid those costly missteps, and instead build real relationships that open doors across the region.
If you are serious about working in the Middle East — or already are and want to do it better — this program is your shortcut.
