EDWIN COHENGlobalHR News

Ed was raised in the Boston area and graduated in 1968 from Nichols College with a BBA, major in Marketing. He was active in college as Editor of the college newspaper, co-founder and Chairman of the InterFaith Council, and he was inducted into the National Honor Society.

He served in the US Army for six years as a Medic in the Army Reserves and was trained with Nursing skills to be an Operating Room Technician. In 1977 he founded a public relations/marketing company to serve the national and international recruitment needs of high-tech companies lo-cated in the Greater Boston region. He called the company “Settling-In Greater Boston” and one of the products was a magazine-guidebook about the region’s communities, housing, and school systems. The publication was called “Settlin’In” and it was very popular from its first edition; ordered and used by most of the region’s larger companies for recruitment and area information and “relocation guid-ance”. The publication was supported actively supported by real estate companies, banks, and a variety of mobility services.

During 1980 he sold the company to a local group and relocated himself, the business ideas, and family, to LA.

During 1981 he organized a new business he called CALIFORNIA BOUND®, a destination information company, essentially a public relations company, that published its 1st edition on LA & Southern California in 1982. It was an immediate success, utilized by large employers in the region for recruitment and relocation purposes. An edition covering San Francisco Bay Region was published in 1984 and also became a financial success. His company, in 1985,

organized, produced and distributed the 1st video reloca-tion guide and it focused on LA’s South Bay communities. His team then expanded the destination-infoguide series to include glossy, colorful editions for New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, St. Louis, Chicago, Arizona, and, Seattle.

In 1984 Ed was asked by executives of Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce to help grow their membership and he suggested a conference series that would bring together business execs and service-providers to the downtown LA facility for a meeting series. In October ’84 the 1st CALIFORNIA BOUND® “relocation conference” was presented and almost 200 attended. In 1994, he created, published, distributed a publication focusing on “interna-tional relocations”; it was called CORPORATE RELOCATION NEWS (CRN). It became a popular resource and info-tool for the businesses and HR Managers involved with inter-national assignment management. In 1997, he organized, produced, financed, and hosted his 1st conference outside the US; in London. Over 100 delegates attended. In 2005, he re-branded CORPORATE RELOCATION NEWS (CRN) to be GLOBAL HR News. In March 2010, he organized, produced, financed and hosted an international meeting using the CISCO TelePresence video service, simultaneously connect-ing participants located in Bern, Frankfurt, Paris, London, New York, Washington DC, and Silicon Valley.

JOERG HATOSKraft Foods

Joerg Hatos is since 2005 the International Assignment Manager for the Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa (CEEMA) Region at Kraft Foods based in Vienna, Austria. Aside from the regular challenges of the Interna-tional Assignment business, he has managed a number of geographical reorganizations (e.g. CE countries re-integra-tion into CEEMA) as well as all expatriate related aspects

of two company mergers (Danone Biscuits and Cadbury). Although he has never been an expatriate himself, Joerg build up a broad knowledge and understanding about the huge variety of individual expatriate concerns in a very divers environment (35 countries) that cannot be easily addressed in a common/global International Assignment Policy. He started his career with the Coca-Cola Company in 1998 where he held a HR generalist role for a short time before he started in the International assignment business for the Central Europe Division (CED later Central Europe, Eurasia & Middle East Group). In 2004 he completed a Col-lege of higher education in Management with a degree. The topic of his thesis: “ROI of Expatriate Assignments” is still a (unresolved) heavily discussed topic. The main chal-lenge these days is that current studies continue to proof that the problems/needs and concerns of expatriates didn’t change over the past years, while International Assignment Teams of all companies do have to cope with a high cost pressure in this area.

SPEAKERS 9

Blizzard Entertainment® is a premier developer and publisher of entertainment software. After establishing the Blizzard Entertainment label in 1994, the company quickly became one of the most popular and well-respected makers of computer games. By focusing on creating well-designed, highly enjoyable entertainment experiences, Bliz-zard Entertainment has maintained an unparalleled reputa-tion for quality since its inception. Blizzard Entertainment’s eight core values represent the principles and beliefs that have guided our company throughout the years. These values are reflected in employees' decisions and actions every day…

GAME PLAY FIRST: Everything we do at Blizzard En-tertainment is based on the success of the gaming experi-ences we provide our players. The goal of each discipline within the company -- be it art, programming or customer support -- is to make our games as fun as possible for as many people as we can reach.

COMMIT TO QUALITY: “Blizzard polish” doesn’t just refer to our gameplay experiences, but to every aspect of our jobs. We approach each task carefully and seriously. We seek honest feedback and use it to improve the quality of our work. At the end of the day, most players won’t remem-ber whether the game was late -- only whether it was great.

PLAY NICE, PLAY FAIR: In our business first impressions are important -- but lasting impressions are everything. We strive to maintain a high level of respect and integrity in all interactions with our players, colleagues, and business partners. The conduct of each Blizzard Entertainment em-ployee, whether online or offline, can reflect on the entire company.

EMBRACE YOUR INNER GEEK: Everyone here is a geek at heart. Cutting-edge technology, comic books, science fiction, top-end video cards, action figures with the kung-fu grip…. Whatever it is they’re passionate about, it matters that each employee embraces it! Their unique enthusiasm helps to shape the fun, creative culture that is Blizzard Entertainment.

EVERY VOICE MATTERS: Great ideas can come from anywhere. Blizzard Entertainment is what it is today be-cause of the voices of our players and of each member of the company. Every employee is encouraged to speak up, listen, be respectful of other opinions, and embrace criti-cism as just another avenue for great ideas.

THINK GLOBALLY: Everywhere on the planet there are people who play Blizzard Entertainment games. While respecting the cultural diversity that makes people unique, we strive to grow and support our global gaming com-munity. We also seek the most passionate, talented people in the world to enrich our company and help us forge the future vision of Blizzard Entertainment.

LEAD RESPONSIBLY: Our products and practices can af-fect not only our employees and players -- but the industry at large. As one of the world’s leading game companies, we’re committed to making ethical decisions, always keep-ing our players in mind, and setting a strong example of professionalism and excellence at all times.

LEARN AND GROW: The games industry is ever-chang-ing. Technology improves, techniques change, and design philosophies become outdated. Since the founding of Blizzard Entertainment, we’ve worked to improve through experience, teaching one another and cultivating the desire to be the best at what we do. We see this as an individual responsibility as well as a company one. Employees can count on their peers, managers, and the company itself to be supportive and help them gain the knowledge and training they need.

ers are offered the opportunity to benchmark and share

best practices on a worldwide basis on: International &

Regional HR; Corporate and Regional Compensation & Ben-

efits; International Mobility. The HR & Mobility Club of the

Magellan Network was created in 1998 to meet the grow-

ing needs of International Human Resource professionals

ternational level. Today, the Magellan Network is proud to

country-specific practices. The fast-paced field of Interna-

Magellan Network provides up-to-date relevant resources

that save you time by pointing you in the right direction.
