Technologies for health
Parsa Famili is fully aware of the importance of a good team. By surrounding himself with specialized, pluridisciplinary teams, Famili succeeded in developing Novatek’s clientele in Canada and abroad, i.e. Asia, Europe, North America and South America.
Parsa Famili had to adapt Novatek’s service offering based on the risks relating to exports, market acceptance, cultural differences from one country to the next, exchange rates and the different geopolitical contexts, always developing new strategies to penetrate new markets.
