Kinshasa Business Pulse

Culture Developing and informal but with a growing corporate sector. Relationships are key.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Call between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM for the best response. French is the primary business language; ensure you have a translator or are fluent for technical discussions. Personal relationships and face-to-face (or video) interactions are highly valued over cold emails.

New York City Business Pulse

Culture Fast-paced and direct. Punctuality is highly valued, and meetings often get straight to business.
Lunch Break Often "on-the-go" between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Mornings (9:30 AM - 11:30 AM) are best for high-energy discussions. After 4:00 PM EST, most professionals are wrapping up or in "commute mode," making it a poor time for complex topics. Keep your pitch concise—New Yorkers value their time and appreciate directness over lengthy pleasantries.
