Previously I have spent 4 years in London, 1 year in Ireland and had a 3 month stint in Dallas Texas in 1999... which was the start of my life living abroad. I work for Goldman Sachs in Finance. I relocated to Bangalore to help grow the Product Control Group which is the team that supports the traders and calculates how much they have made each day. I am an avid sports fan and love watching Australians participate in all sorts of sports. My favourite sport is football - I'll travel anywhere to see the Socceroos play. I also love the snow and try to fit in at least one snow trip a year. My only language is English - but I have just started taking Hindi lessons, so hopefully I will have the basics by the end of the year.

Simon H BE370 UNITED KINGDOM
Business Systems Analyst
Hi, I arrived in Bangalore at the start of Jan on a placement. I am a reasonably new recruit to Tesco and a major appeal of the job was that within 3 mths I would be moving to Bangalore for an extended period of time. I work in IT and am here to do a mixture of training and live project work, as much of Tesco's development work is now done at HSC in Bangalore.
Other travel apart from the US and extensively in Europe includes Namibia where I spent 2 mths in the summer of 1999 and South America, where I spent the majority of 2005, living in various countries and travelling extensively. Apart from english I speak very rusty spanish.
Hobbies include most sports, especially tennis, travelling and socialising with friends.
I hope to hear from you soon.
