Employee Empowerment & the Bottom Line
Our speaker for the evening is Hugh Van Es – CEO of Proquanet, a startup he founded this January, and the budding author of “Hell in Paradise” soon to be published in the UK by Olympia Publishers.
Hugh emigrated with his family from his native Antwerp, to Bangkok, in 1987, and has spent nearly 4 decades in the land of smiles.
From June 2004 until last December, Hugh was the Managing Director at Swarovski Gemstones Thailand, one of the Swarovski Group’s manufacturing centers. While there, he was instrumental in implementing employee empowerment, which eventually delivered measurable contributions to the business’s bottom line. Connect with Hugh on LinkedIn or via his website.
“…Failure should only be seen as an opportunity for improvement! Blaming or finger pointing only creates stress for all. Learn from it and move on!!…”

DOING GOOD
Our featured charity for the evening will be Hands Across the Water, dedicated to saving Thailand’s most vulnerable children from dangerous environments and to giving a home to those who have no family or known relatives to care for them. With your help, these kids don’t have to go hungry, miss out on education, face the challenges of life on their own or be forced into undesirable employment.
