Sim returns to Microsoft fold

After less than a year, Vincent Sim has departed his executive director of marketing position at SPE Networks to return to Microsoft. Sim, who was head of MSN Southeast Asia prior to joining SPE, assumes the marketing director role for Microsoft's communications sector, covering Greater China, Japan and APAC. "I'm looking for something more in line with my career aspirations," said Sim, who will rejoin Microsoft at the end of this month.
