Hi Dave,
First time on your blog and read some interesting stuff.
I am a business system analyst in IT sector but do try to keep in touch with the rest of the world of business.
Btw we share the same wordpress theme!
Hi David,
I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon your blog.
I am one of 38 Mexicans residing in India. My first impression: we have so much in common with the people from this country; there is so much potential.
Just to tell you about myself, I head one of the practices of a consulting firm in retail, healthcare, leisure/hospitality and food/agro. I moved in with my family 2 years ago; haven’t looked back since.
Muy buen blog… felicidades.
