In 1987 I started at the PTT, the predecessor of KPN. After two years I then switched to APT, a joint venture between AT&T and Philips telecommunication, working on corporate telecom centers. After a couple of years, in 1992, I was invited for a small three-week assignment in Asia. That got a little out of hand and turned into a ten-year project!  It was an amazing adventure and good period for me personally as well. I met my late wife there and we had our child there. In 2002 I moved back to the Netherlands with the plan to stay for two years but that also went a bit differently than expected. I was asked by a Dutch contact in New-Zealand to help his collaboration platform land in the European market.
