About the blogger

AHMED LIMAM: A global business and HR technology expert, I live mainly in Paris,France where I was born, after stints in North Africa, the US (where I went to college), Spain (where I worked for the UN) and Brazil (where I spent my early freelance years) along with countless other countries around the globe. A strong believer in the dual role of HR and cloud technology to enhance corporate performance, these convictions are voiced in journal articles, at conferences and in blog posts. I am also the proud author of "High-Tech Planet", a rare business novel set in the IT industry (available from Amazon: http://amzn.to/czf0qw.) A relentless globe-trotter I am fluent in 6 languages. To quote Charlemagne: "to have a second language is to have a second soul." I also NEVER TAKE THINGS AT THEIR FACE VALUE. Challenge the received wisdom and go beyond first impressions: you'll be amply rewarded - that's my philosophy. I can be reached at: contact@AhmedLimam.com. NOTE: The thoughts expressed in this blog reflect my personal views, not those of any company I am or have been associated with.
