Lima Business Pulse

  • Culture Professional but values personal rapport. Directness is appreciated but should be polite.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The ideal time for calls is 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Peruvians value personal trust and long-term relationships. Traffic in Lima is notoriously bad, so virtual meetings are often preferred. Business is professional but includes a warm, personal element.

San Francisco Business Pulse

  • Culture Innovation-focused and casual. Values disruption, speed, and technical excellence.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Expect a casual, tech-first vibe—informal language and dress are the norm. However, technical competence and speed are non-negotiable. Many in the Bay Area work non-traditional hours, but standard business times remain the safest bet.
