How To Negotiate (How To: Academy, Band 10)

Christopher Copper-Ind is publisher of International Investment, a financial news organisation in London. He also writes tailored reports on Turkey and Iran for a Middle East consultancy. Before this he was editorial director of a media company in Istanbul covering the economies of the Middle East and Central Asia. From 2004 to 2010 Copper-Ind was a company director at the publishing house Stacey International, for whom he negotiated contracts across the Middle East and Asia for high-end book projects and business guides.

As a publisher and Middle East consultant, he has worked on projects in over twenty-five countries. His business trips did not always go according to plan, however. Negotiating for a contract in Iran in 2009, he found himself briefly imprisoned on charges of espionage.

He divides his time between London and Paris.
