"Lowell Bennett's range of talent extends from the journalistic to the creative and diplomatic. . . . Serving together with an international-level publishing house based in Beijing, a large part of our job was being a part of press delegation missions across China. Press conferences and liaison with business people and government officials at varying levels were a large part of the mission. Lowell excelled at these often extemporaneous, off-the-cuff performances. . . . I recall one particular assignment in and around Nanjing, when Lowell was sort of sandbagged by local officials. Our group walked into what we thought would be a routine (and dull) meeting with the mayor only to confront about 75 Chinese journalists and photographers, a bank of TV cameras and lighting at the center of everything. Turns out it was a major regional press conference, no advance warning or opportunity to prep, and they had Lowell seated at the lead position next to the mayor, all cameras and press people focused on them. He pulled it off professionally, effectively and elegantly. . . . And his writing and photography skills are exceptional." MS Freelance Journalist and Writer, Special Correspondent Bloomberg BNA, Contributor to MIT Technology Review and Others, Shenzhen, China "Mr. Bennett has demonstrated strong professionalism. . . .
He is able to perform the job well also because of his good understanding
of Chinese culture and history. Indeed, one of the stories he wrote,
"Solid Stone - Soft Snow -Treading the Short Path in a Changing China",
won him a CIPG "Best Article". . . . an honor given out to only
five of a thousand articles published in over 20 magazines published
by CIPG each year." "I met Lowell in 2009 and he has since been a great service to me
on numerous occasions. He has assisted me in directing the production
of websites and website content, the writing of my professional biography,
the writing of magazine articles about me, and other writings for and
about the food and beverage industry. We also worked together on the
formulation and marketing of unique new food and beverage concepts,
including restaurants and nightclubs. . . . He is a very talented
and creative guy and has a great head for business and numbers. . .

humor. . . . I would recommend Lowell Bennett and his business,
GenTac, to any company considering taking advantage of his professional
services." "His work has significantly factored into the past and ongoing success
of our firm. Numerous multi-million-dollar transactions were more expeditiously

His consultation proved crucial in achieving goals and, at times, prevented potentially damaging errors. . . . " WY Editor, China International Publishing Group.

association, it has been my pleasure to read Lowell's articles and editorial
