Pacific Tango Group

Born during the pandemic, we help businesses thrive worldwide

The inspiration for the Pacific Tango Group was the worldwide catastrophe of Covid-19 and its devastating impact on international business. During this time, our founders – Kevin Crowell, Fred Lee, and Seiji Oyasu – worked in different industries, but all dealt with manufacturers and distributors in the United States, Japan, Korea, and China. When travel and business between these countries came to a virtual standstill in 2020, Kevin, Fred, and Seiji decided to use their experience and creativity to collaborate on a solution. The result was the founding of Pacific Tango Group–an innovative consultancy dedicated to helping North American and APAC businesses expand sales in their home countries and abroad. 

Utilizing the natural synergies between their own areas of expertise, they set out to guide international clients in the same way an expert dancer might teach a novice how to do the tango. Helping entrepreneurs understand the steps, connect with foreign vendors and markets, and deal with the nuances of different cultures, Pacific Tango Group makes entering new markets as easy as following the lead of a knowledgeable dance partner.

Today, Pacific Tango Group has grown to include experts in almost every area of business – from product design and management to marketing and distribution. Working with every client as a trusted partner, we develop customized programs to meet their needs. The result is a business relationship that is creative, productive, transparent, and dedicated to leading our clients to a more successful future.
