From Jack de Witte
Chers
(anciens) collègues SITA,
Pelly
Smith était un monument de la SITA ! Encore une belle personne de la
« grande famille » qui disparaît ! Que son âme repose en paix.
Nous viendrons tous, un jour ou l’autre, la rejoindre. Nous aurons alors
beaucoup de choses à nous raconter ! Toutes mes sincères condoléances à sa
famille et ses amis proches. Merci de les leurs transmettre.
Jack de Witte

From Roger Pimenta:
It is really sad the news about Pelly Smith. She was AA account manager for long time and she was a great professional to whom all of us had a great respect. She used to fight against ourselves within SITA in favor of AA

I joined SITA Paris in June 1978 as an engineer in the Technical Studies department which was then managed by Georges Giraudbit. After developping planning tools for the HLN and later the DTN, I led the design and implementation of the new routing algorithm of the DTN.
Later my team delivered the strategy and specification for migrating the network from airline specific protocols to open standards, and whichalso served for the RFP for the MTN.
After working on developing projects for non-airline customers, I moved to SITA Geneva in 1999, in marketing and later fiance departments.
In 2004 i left SITA to join IATA in Geneva.
With IATA I first worked on launching and developing a new business based on providing credit card payment services to travel agencies. Then I moved to IT, in charge of all data management for successfully.implementing SAP at IATA. Once that project was over I joined the Cargo department at IATA, in charge of Technical developments.
Having worked both at SITA and IATA has been a very unique experience for me!
