Prior to joining Pacnet, Abbas worked for AT&T for 11 years, most recently as Executive Director of Human Resources for the Asia Pacific region. He also worked in human resources for KPMG’s consulting arm in India.
Grivner said Anne Adam’s tenure at Pacnet spanned 11 years and included executive positions in customer service in addition to human resources.
“Pacnet places great emphasis on attracting and nurturing its human capital, thanks in part to Anne’s leadership. In particular, she was a tremendous steward during the recent changes to our organisation. We are grateful for her service and contribution.”
