Over the years we've spent a lot of time and energy trying to be as flexible and far reaching as possible so when we began to see a rise in membership in our "APJ" areas we of course began to see what we could to make them feel welcomed! I think we did quite well with India, Australia, Singapore and many of the other areas but we then began to realize that native languages can be rough and we saw there was an ever increasing gap as opposed to closing of the gap and bringing all our members together.
Don't get me wrong this is something we noticing in South America and even here in Europe (notice that blogs are multi-lingual now?) So we are wortking hard to find ways to make everyone feel at home here! With that said it's my extreme pleasure to welcome the newest member to the Community and Collaboration family!
Please welcome Cathy who is based out of Shanghai ! She comes with a good understanding of the Technology Industry from her experience with companies like Sony and AMD. Having spent a significant part of her professional career in Japan she has a good understanding of the Japanese language. It'll be her task to foster, grow and embrace the communities in China and Japan as well as being our point of contact for all our members in the region. Community Evening @ TechEd Shanghai!
