For more than three decades, Herb Cohen has been a practicing negotiator, intimately involved in some of the world's headline dramas --from hostile takeovers to hostage negotiations. His clients have included business executives, entrepreneurs, sports and theatrical agents and large corporations, including IBM, Citibank, Eli Lilly, Credit Suisse First Boston, Sears Roebuck and Co., Nomura International and Kam Ngan Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, as well as governmental agencies such as the Department of State, the F.B.I., the Conference of Mayors and the U.S. Department of Justice.

While serving as an advisor to Presidents Carter and Reagan on combating terrorism, he was involved in the Iranian Hostage Crisis and credited with helping to shape the government's response to the skyjacking of TWA Flight 847 and the seizure of the Achille Lauro.

As a result of his unique but extensive practical experiences, Mr. Cohen is internationally renowned as a corporate and governmental consultant on negotiating strategy, commercial dealings and crisis management.

Herb Cohen's analysis and insights into political strategy and international relations have appeared in many international publications, and he himself has been the subject of articles in Time, People, Playboy and The Economist. In these writings, he has been called "the world's best negotiator" and referred to as "America's foremost convention speaker," presenting serious subjects with such humor and dramatic flair that they become pure entertainment!

Herb is the author of You Can Negotiate Anything, which was on the New York Times Bestseller List for over nine months, and has been translated into ten languages. He has been a guest on The Tonight Show, Good Morning America, Nightline and the Larry King radio and television programs.
