I joined SITA Nouméa – New Caledonia in 1980. In 1985 I joined Bernard Leroy's team in HongKong as technical Manager for the Far East region. I was one of the first to be transferred to the newly built regional office in Loyang-Singapore. In 1990 I moved to the marketing & Sales department in the Messaging team. In 1995, I was promoted to Regional Manager for Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Mongolia and North Korea and moved to Ho Chi Minh city in 1998. In 1999, after a major reorganisation in the group, I worked for Equant as Carrier Relations Manager back in Singapore to finally join the Billing department in Geneva.
