Though President of Bombardier China, Zhang Jianwei is a low-profile businessman. He is rarely in the limelight as he leads the company from strength to strength.

A Canadian manufacturer of both trains and planes, Bombardier Inc is recognized as "one of the most successful foreign companies in the industry" yet it rarely publicizes itself in China.

"We speak less and do more," said Zhang, a native of Shandong province in East China.
