Derek Brown, Microsoft Marketing Director for Thailand, bid the tech publishing industry goodbye today with a farewell letter to selected peers.

Wrote Derek in his farewell email,

Microsoft has been a love of my live, and while I’ll admit that at times it seems an unrequited one, it has been on measure a truly remarkable experience.  And at the core of that remarkableness is the amazing people I’ve had the good fortune to work with all these years - in and out of the company.   Microsoft has attracted a remarkable bunch and it’s been my honor and at times humbling experience to work with all of you.  The level of intellectual curiosity, the intense passion coupled with an environment that that challenges us with the freedom to do our best work is indeed special - and I’ll remember it that way.

Brown’s departure marks the end of an era with a complete change of top management at Microsoft Thailand starting with the departure of Andrew McBean, country manager, last year.
