If you love somebody, set them free

After some teasing and cryptic thoughts, here the conclusion. Linus Torvald said it in his keynote address during 1999' Lotus DevCon: "If you love somebody, set them free". I put in a lot of work in TAO Consulting over the last 6 years and it is time to set it free. Ms. Ida Cheong will take over as Managing Director, Pitt will run the Notes consulting arm, Dr. Magaret Tan continues the Business consulting, Christoph Schaaf will cover UMsys. The position for a sales director has three hot candidates (more once its closed). We recently signed partner agreements with eWorkplace and CPUSoft to resell our products, so expect more activities there. If you want to have your product represented in SE-Asia talk to the good folks at TAO.

And I? Well think Rock, think Bob

I will be the LTPA ....The Lotus Technology & Productivity Advisor for IBM Asean. I will be based in Singapore covering Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. Exiting times ahead.

    Congrats Stephan !! IBM/Lotus is going through a dramatic transformation, and it is impressive to see the brainpower they are attracting. It's not just about being the brightest (you'd win in that category, too), but having a vision.
