"Ms. Xi Li is an outstanding professional in the field of international higher education and a prominent figure in the UK-China education sector. I worked with her for five years at the University of Sussex where Ms. Li was Senior International Officer for East Asia. During that period, I held senior university leadership positions for international student recruitment and I am presently the executive lead for Sussex's international strategy, developing a global network of education partnerships and research collaborations.

Xi Li was pivotal to that work and during her tenure at the university, Ms. Li initiated and put in place over forty new articulation agreements. In addition, she oversaw the recruitment of more than a thousand students annually from China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. She managed the university's two offices in mainland China with great professionalism. Ms. Li has extensive expertise and an impressive track-record and portfolio of work in almost every part of the globe. In short, Xi Li is a consummate professional; a leader within East Asian higher education; a fabulous, entrepreneurial colleague with a generous and warm-hearted approach to work."

"I am delighted to be collaborating with Cradle of Success for the provision of our in-country resource in China. Already within the first few weeks of our collaboration, the CEO, Ms Xi Li, has demonstrated an incredibly in-depth knowledge of the East Asia market and deep experience of how to leverage the best results for the institutions she works with.

Ms Xi Li is clearly well networked in a market where networks count for a great deal and is able to find suitable matches for partner institutions and support them through to the conclusion of agreements. I am delighted to recommend Cradle of Success for services in China including both partnership development and the provision of in-country resource."
