Neil S. Orkin
Global Training SystemsPerhaps even more fascinating than the quick-to-change scenery of the corporate landscape are the people who inspire and sculpt that change -- the often young and nimble innovators of the business world. The following 40 men and women -- all under 40 -- are clever and confident business owners and big-company execs who have either arrived at or are on their way to success. They would likely agree with the poet Lord Byron who wrote, "The days of our youth are the days of our glory."
Neil S. Orkin, 37, couldn't be happier about the prospects of the ever-expanding global economy. As president of Global Training Systems, a Hillsborough-based global management consulting firm specializing in human-resource development, he prepares companies for doing business in a global environment.
Orkin received his bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in 1982 and his master's from Columbia University in 1988. This January, he graduated from Rutgers University with a doctorate in adult education. He had been a full-time faculty member at Rutgers for seven years and worked for three years in Japan as a communication skills consultant for Time T.I. Communications.
He started Global Training Systems in 1996 and has helped companies like Johnson & Johnson and Schering-Plough do business in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
Neil is fluent in Japanese, Spanish and Portuguese, and proficient in Korean and Italian. No matter what language he is speaking, he communicates one important message to his clients: "The future lies in globalization," he says. "One should have no fears about going global."
