After four months of forced unemployment while I sorted out my visa problems, and another three months in temporary employment, I have finally found a permanent job!! Guaranty Bank is about to spin out of its holding company, Temple Inland, and I will be working for the Governance team on all the areas of regulation with which the newly-public company will have to comply. In effect, it will be very similar to the Company Secretarial role I had at GSK. And it will be particularly interesting working in a company at the time of its initial stock exchange listing.

Crack open the bubbly!
