It is my pleasure to introduce you to Frederic Teboul, the new At-Large Regional Affairs Manager. Born in Marseille, France, he began his career in the French Foreign Service in Israel in 1997; he subsequently worked for several parts of the United Nations' system from 2000 to 2005 in the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in Geneva, Kosovo, New York and Athens. He comes to us most recently from the private sector, where he served as Business Development and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Director for the third-largest Greek maritime operator. His experience in the public and private sectors in a wide variety of international decision-making environments, working with governments, civil society, and industry stakeholders from more than 200 different countries, makes him a valuable addition to the At-Large team in the Policy Unit. He will be responsible in particular for supporting the Regional At-Large Organisations (RALOs), facilitating their involvement in policy development and assisting them in their work representing the individual Internet user interest in ICANN. Frederic has a PhD in Social Science from IAE-University Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne, an MA in Political Science and International Relations from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and an Executive MBA from the Athens University of Economics and Business. He is a native French speaker, and also has knowledge of Romanian and Hebrew - with a little Italian, Spanish, Arabic, and Greek thrown in for good measure. I hope you will join me in giving Frederic a warm welcome!
