Christiane Schulz is COO Asia Pacific at Edelman, the world's largest communications firm — overseeing 15 markets and thousands of staff. Before that, her entire senior career was in Germany. Then, at a stage when most leaders are settling into what they've built, she moved to Singapore and started over.
