Roxane Romero:  

ng - Europe beckoned and I moved to London, UK. I built up the European operations of Carlson Leisure through M&A activities. After a couple of years the company was sold to Thomas Cook and I returned to the oil industry to work for Shell in M&A and later Venture Capital. From there I got internet fever and made an ill-fated move to Munich, the old continent's internet hub, to work for a small consulting company. I was promptly laid off. Luckily I found a job in M&A with T-Systems, even though my German was terrible at the time. T-Systems is a subsidary of Deutsche Telekom. I have recently taken a new position at T-Mobile in Bonn where I manage the Capex budget for the European operations. Somehow I managed to work in four different German cities (Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Bonn) even though my real dream was to work in France.
