Overseeing operations
at Genesys Conferencing

Margie Medalle will oversee the U.S. domestic operation of the newly formed company, Genesys Conferencing Inc. She will manage the operations of the Hawaii-based Aloha Conferencing, and its mainland affiliate, Summons Conferencing. Medalle played a role in the recent acquisition of Aloha by the Genesys Group, a worldwide conferencing services provider, based in Montpellier, France.

"This definitely will mean tremendous growth in the U.S., not just Hawaii," Medalle said. "We have affiliates in the Pacific Rim -- Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. This (new company) should also help the Hawaii economy with over 100 employees in Hawaii. But we're not dependent on the Hawaii economy since most of our customers are on the East Coast."

She has been with Aloha Conferencing since 1994, working as controller and director of finance and then vice president/general manager last year. She earned a master's degree in finance from Golden Gate University in San Francisco.
