Tim Lindeman's China journey began in 2000, when he arrived in China unable to speak a single sentence of Mandarin. Tim quickly immersed himself in Chinese and landed a job at Yonyou, China’s largest ERP vendor, where he learned the inner workings of a Chinese software company. Later Tim joined Dimensional Insight, a data analytics software company, set up and run their China subsidiary. Through years of trial and error Tim and his team built up a sales channel and customer base, and the company is now a well-known brand in China’s healthcare IT industry.
