Moscow Business Pulse

Culture Direct, formal, and results-oriented. Trust is earned through performance and reliability.
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Best reached between 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM. Avoid the 1 PM - 2 PM lunch slot. Russian business culture can be very direct and formal; do not mistake a lack of small talk for a lack of interest. Be prepared with solid data and a clear "bottom line" for your discussion.

Ottawa Business Pulse

Culture Formal, professional, and influenced by government and high-tech industries.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Ottawa is the capital of Canada; expect high professional standards and formal protocols. It is also a major tech hub. Punctuality and clear communication are highly valued. Avoid calling late on Friday afternoon.
