B&F People >>
Jude Du, B&F Business Manager
This issue we continue our regular feature about members of the Birds & Fish Creative and buisiness team.

Jude Du joined B&F in 2004 coming from a diverse and extremely relevant background in television, education and translation. Jude is now an essential driver behind our group.

Jude in Sydney, October 2005

"Adapting to a totally new environment is hard enough. It is even harder to start a business in that new environment. That was my situation two years ago when I came to Shanghai and took the role of business development of Birds & Fish. Two years later, I am proud to say that Birds & Fish has survived all the initial difficulties and is thriving in the highly competitive Shanghai. I myself also grow stronger and more confident in the process. Wish Birds & Fish, all its members and clients an even brighter future."
