Dina Bonnevie joins Fusion to expand Efonica's reach in the Middle East

In her role as Director of Overseas Market Development, Ms. Bonnevie's primary focus will be on developing strategic VoIP business opportunities for Fusion's Efonica brand within the global Filipino community.

"We are very pleased that Dina has joined the Fusion team. Her strong work ethic, management and business development experience and her stature in the worldwide Filipino community, especially in the Middle East, will help drive our efforts to market customised Filipino VoIP service packages that meet the growing need for communicating with friends, family and business associates around the world," said Roger Karam, Fusion's President of VoIP division.

"There are an estimated seven million Filipino expatriates living around the world. Fusion developed its Efonica branded VoIP services with a focus on the global marketplace and believes this will be of particular benefit to the worldwide Filipino market," said Ibrahim Choueiry, Efonica's Regional Director for Asia and Africa, based in Dubai.

Ms. Bonnevie has had a distinguished career in the Filipino entertainment industry. She has spent over twenty-five years in the entertainment industry, during which time she has appeared in almost one hundred movies, TV programs and commercials, produced a gold record, and an award winning talk show. Ms. Bonnevie has received over ten best actress and best supporting actress awards and an award for best celebrity talk show host.

In addition to her entertainment career, she is an accomplished businessperson. As President of White Wings, Inc., a production company, she developed programs to fund concerts and local special events. She has also been a partner with Trans-Star Shipping Agency Corporation and held a position as Director of Finance, Marketing, and Human Resources for 13 years.

"I am excited to join Fusion and to be a part of the next evolution of VoIP,' said Ms. Bonnevie. "After many years of working in the global Filipino community, I believe Fusion's revolutionary VoIP services and the introduction of the worldwide Internet Area Code will bring tremendous value to Filipinos around the world. In addition, I believe in Fusion's vision and know that our Efonica brand of advanced VoIP services will provide significant value to all of our consumer and business customers who communicate to, from, in, and between emerging markets worldwide."

Last month, Fusion launched a revolutionary free VoIP service in the Middle East under its global Efonica brand. Efonica subscribers can now call each other for free using their existing landline or mobile telephone numbers to and from any combination of PC's, Internet phones and regular telephones (with a simple adapter), connected to a broadband or dial-up Internet connection.
