    Maputo, Iphone, Dubai...etc.

    2007-07 Kick Off Maputo- 001It's been some time since my last post. This was mainly due to the fact that I was quite busy finishing the fiscal year and starting a new one :-) I successfully closed the year meeting my objectives and then flew to Maputo where I met all my colleagues from various parts of Africa....It was a great event, lot's of fun and energy, but also good strategic sessions putting  us in good shape for the unfolding year.

    On the Gadgets front, after the Iphone mania died out, we are starting to see the first really objective reviews of Apple's new baby...And guess what ? ..They're really good:

    Check out Mark Orchant's post on the subject

    "90% of 200 owners said they were “extremely” or “very” satisfied with their phone. And 85% said they are “extremely” or “very” likely to recommend the device to others."

    Back to this new fiscal year...I have accepted a new role at our Middle East and Africa HQ and should be relocating to Dubai in the coming months....More on that later.
