Philippe Cabanettes
Director, Permits Foundation Board
"Those who have seen potential expatriates turn down an excellent job offer in another country because of the inability of their partner to work, understand why the mission of Permits Foundation is so important. Thanks to its hard work advocating change to governments, and with the support of its sponsors, Permits Foundation has improved the track record of successful expatriations. Gemalto needs internationally mobile staff to move from any country to any other country. This is part of our business and also our employee’s development. We have been a long-term loyal supporter of Permits Foundation and I am now proud to serve on the board to contribute to its sustainable results."
