She has considerable experience in telecommunications in the developing world, having previously worked in Africa and South Asia. Digicel recently launched a fully-fledged NFC service in Tonga (the subject of this podcast). The "beep & go" service uses the VeriFone "mWallet" system to deliver a non-bank payment scheme, which is why it is so interesting. Annie has an MBA from Insead and BAs in French and Economics from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities.
