CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The overseas division of furniture logistics provider Globe Express Services is working with three universities in China to help develop future CEOs.

About $16,600 of the funds awarded to two of the schools is being matched by the Chinese government. The company also will grant 70% of the funds to female students in order to provide greater opportunities to Asian women, a goal of GES founder Pierre Y. Abou Khater.
