Pan will be based in Santa Monica and report to Colby Goff, senior vice president of network strategy. “Asia-Pacific is growing dramatically – especially in China – making it an imperative that we grow the Boingo Roaming System in the region to meet the demand for convenient, wireless communications,” Goff said. “Already we have more than 2,100 hotspots in the region and we’re looking to Allen’s technical expertise along with his intimate knowledge of the culture and Asian business community to greatly expand that network.” Pan most recently served as the Asia Pacific senior strategist for MCI’s International Strategic Ventures & Alliances organization, charged with expanding the company’s international communications partnering and alliance strategy. Prior to that, he was stationed in Beijing as a vice president with China Networks International Co. Ltd., where he built and managed sales channels for both US and Asian markets.
