She has lived and worked in several countries and speaks six languages. She is also affiliated with the Harvard Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School.

Katia is the author of the highly innovative Negotiation Intelligence^® (NQ®) approach, which helps individuals, teams and companies to both screen and boost their negotiation and cooperation potential.
