Recently, Jean-Jacques was involved in the discussions over the revision of the EU regulatory framework for electronic communications, in particular in relation to the topic of net neutrality and the open Internet.
He joined Skype, now owned by Microsoft, at the start of 2008 from UK Trade and Investment, the British Government's external trade promotion arm. Before that, he served UK interests in many telecoms and IT negotiations and forums during his years in public service. They included the OECD – where he was a vice chair of the anti-spam task force, and chairman of the working party on the information economy; the ITU; the UN's world summit on the information society; and the WTO. He's the current UK signatory of the ITU Treaties.
