There’s a stage when, after travelling too much, or meeting too many people from the emerging markets, your perception of the world shifts.

At this stage, there are no more big Western technologies nor are there thousands of small players from the emerging markets. No, there are just two worlds who don’t know each other too well, each of the same size and importance.

I’m reaching this stage now after a year of travelling across Africa, the Middle-East, Asia, and, via the proxy of my team, in Latin America too.
