Change

Last month it has been silent on my blog. That usually happens when something is cooking ... Today is my last day working at iSOCO as I will move to Telefonica Research and Development. Below you can find the "official" announcement.

I will continue to write this blog, but the topic may shift a bit. See you in August.

Stay tuned!

________________________________________
Dear friends and colleagues,

After 7 years of full time dedication to iSOCO, I will leave its daily operations from end of July, 2007. I will remain, though, a member of iSOCO’s Board of Directors.

I accepted a new position as Director of Technological Strategy at Telefónica R&D.

I am sure we will stay in touch, either through opportunities arising from my new position, or through my continued involvement in iSOCO.

Kind regards,
-- Richard

Apreciad@s amig@s,

Después de 7 años de dedicación completa en iSOCO, dejaré el día a día de la empresa a partir de finales de julio, 2007. Seguiré, no obstante, formando parte del Consejo de Administración.

He aceptado un nuevo reto como Director de Estrategia Tecnológica en Telefónica I+D.

Estoy seguro de que seguiremos en contacto, ya sea con las nuevas oportunidades que nos vayan surgiendo, o bien a través de iSOCO.

Cordialmente,
-- Richard

Beste vrienden en collegas,

Na 7 jaar toewijding aan iSOCO, trek ik me –per eind juli 2007- terug uit de dagelijkse leiding van het bedrijf. Ik blijf wel lid van de Raad van Bestuur.

Ik neem de positie in van Directeur “Technologische Strategie” in Telefónica Onderzoek en Ontwikkeling in Madrid, Spanje.

Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat we contact zullen houden; vanwege mogelijkheden in mijn nieuwe positie, of via mijn blijvende verbondenheid aan iSOCO.

Vriendelijke groeten,
-- Richard
