Neteller's Asian Boss Steps Down
But Johnson will continue to consult and
will stay on the Board as a non-executive director
Dale Johnson, the highly experienced businessman who has spearheaded
the Neteller group progress in the Asian and Pacific markets for
the past three years has retired as an executive director of the
company but will remain on the Board as a non-executive director
with consulting duties.
Johnson's Far Eastern responsibilities will be managed on a day-to-day
basis by Joyce Wong, Vice President & General Manager of Neteller
Asia Pacific.
Appointed president of Asia Pacific operations for the e-wallet
in March 2004, Johnson has over 30 years experience in corporate
leadership, operations management, business development, project
management and turnarounds for private and public companies.
A founding shareholder and principal of Tri Ocean Engineering Ltd.,
he spent the early part of his career engaged in large scale project
management, including projects in the North Sea, Canada and Peru.
He subsequently founded and served as president of Alpeco Limited,
a specialised oilfield equipment packager.
In a press release today (Tuesday) Neteller thanked Johnson for
his significant contribution as both an executive director of the
company and most recently as head of the group’s Asian Pacific
operations.
"Over the past one and a half years, Dale and the regional
team have extended the group’s products and services in Asia
into higher value added activities and new markets," the release
states. "Neteller's Asian business has become consistently
profitable and is firmly established as one of the largest independent
e-money transfer providers in the region.
"Asia is the fastest growing region within Neteller's business,
in large part due to implementing new channel and pricing strategies,
and new payment options, in markets such as Japan, China and Australia.
Neteller is also energetically examining emerging markets with increasing
potential such as Taiwan and Philippines. The ability to leverage
Neteller’s extensive resources and experience provides a strong
foundation for success in Asia.
"The Board looks forward to Dale’s continuing contribution
as a non-executive director. In addition, Dale will continue to
assist the Neteller group in a consultancy role on a number of strategic
planning initiatives which the group is currently progressing."
No reason other than retirement was given for Johnson's departure.
