What is Independa, and what services do you offer?
What sets Independa apart from other companies that provide telecare for the elderly?
Why do you think that telehealth is growing so quickly?  What issues does it address for older adults who want to remain independent, and for their caregivers?
What are the major obstacles to wider adoption of remote monitoring and social engagement, particularly for the elderly?
How do you see the future of telehealth moving?
Tip: Telehealth needs to be integrated and holistic. Both caregivers and those who receive care need a simple, one-stop solution.

As Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Websense, Inc., he redefined the company’s market positioning and helped guide it to global market dominance. In addition to his responsibility for all aspects of global marketing, Saneii oversaw strategy, mergers and acquisitions, OEM sales, and business development. As the founding GM of Websense Wireless, Saneii expanded the company’s vision to encompass the wireless revolution from a new perspective, and established Websense Wireless as a carrier-grade supplier of transformational technologies to the telco/wireless ecosystem worldwide.
Before joining Websense, Saneii served as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing and Business Development at IPNet Solutions. In this role, he helped B2B supply chain businesses convert from using EDI to using secure supply chain collaboration and communication systems – introducing real-time information flow and eliminating significant waste throughout the chain.
Prior to his IPNet Solutions role, Saneii served as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing and Business Development for IMA, Inc., focusing on CRM solutions. Saneii transformed IMA’s call center solutions into customer interaction centers by integrating all customer interactions and data, redefining the entire market sector.

The Globalisation of Love with Wendy Williams

Wendy Williams, the author of The Globalisation of Love, a book about multicultural romance and marriage joins the show.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Wendy Williams discuss the following:
You’ve written a book titled THE GLOBALISATION OF LOVE. Can you tell the audience what this book is about and what you think the audience will get out of reading this book?
You use the term ‘GloLo’ frequently in the book and even have a cocktail, the GloLoTini. What does GloLo mean?
Why do you feel more people are getting involved in biracial and multicultural relationship?
What do you feel are the advantages and I want to say disadvantages of being in a multicultural relationship?
You interviewed dozens of multicultural couples from around the world. Is there one story, in particular that truly impacted you?

Wendy Williams is the author of The Globalisation of Love, a book about multicultural romance and marriage. Wendy has lived in six different countries and worked internationally for 18 years. She has had lots of multicultural relationships, however revealing the exact number would be unladylike, wouldn’t it? Wendy is Canadian, from the same small town in Northern Ontario as Shania Twain she is proud to say, and has been married to an Austrian for thirteen years. She lives in Vienna, Austria with her husband and their daughter.
Wendy has a Bachelor's degree from Canada, a Master’s degree from Switzerland and a PhD from Austria.  During maternity leave, Wendy wrote The Globalisation of Love. The book was published on November 13th, 2011, Wendy's 13th wedding anniversary. It is based on dozens of interviews with multicultural couples from around the world.  The book includes chapters on multicultural weddings, religion, race, food, language and children and much more. It is both humorous and factual and Wendy includes personal anecdotes from her own experience in a multicultural family. The Globalisation of Love is a must read for anyone who is in a multicultural relationship or thinking about it!
Note on Her Namesake
Wendy Williams shares her name with many famous personalities. For clarity, this Wendy Williams is not a racy talk show host, she is not the scandalous lead singer of the 1980s band the Plasmatics, and she is not a transsexual pornography star of more than 50 movies. Nor is she the author of ‘The Best Bike Paths of New England’. This Wendy Williams is the author of The Globalisation of Love. She coined the term ‘GloLo’ and invented the GloLoTini cocktail.
