Phil BLADES
Vice President, Technology Consulting, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young
Yves was instrumental in creating a new business opportunity in the (then) emerging field of IP services, his visionary abilities coupled with in depth technical expertise in the field of telecommunication and IP helped persuade Cisco to commission Cap Gemini to create their EMEA service provider strategy for OSS and BSS services. Yves was also astute enough to realize that a high powered international team was required to create and deliver for Cisco - I was proud to be joint leader of that team with Yves.

I met Yves through the Stanford Business School which we both attended and subsequently on business when we were both involved through outsourcing software development to India. He has had a long and deep experience in telecommunications and of strategic planning in that context. His recommendation to Cap Gemini in 2001 to invest in Indian software companies was an example of that. That proposal was rejected at the time but has now become a top priority for them.
