Kongebakken, DK April 27 -- Janne Maillet, an employee of Oticon A/S for over 36 years, retired on April 1, 2007. In her role as assistant to Henning Mønsted, Director of Sales and Marketing, Janne managed and planned all group visits to Oticon headquarters in Denmark. A master of logistics, with a keen eye for detail, Janne appeared to effortlessly organize and oversee travels and tours involving hundreds of visitors. For over 36 years, her warm and friendly manner and willingness to handle even the smallest requests made her a popular hostess for hearing care professionals from the U.S. and other sister companies who visited the Oticon headquarters, factory and Eriksholm Research Centre. Her ability to remain calm and reassuring in the face of airline delays, missed connections and last-minute venue changes earned her the affection of visitors and the respect and admiration of her fellow employees. Following Mr. Mønsted's retirement, Janne continued her work, most recently arranging an influx of international visitors for the celebrations of Oticon's 100th Anniversary and the opening of the new headquarters at Kongebakken. "She was the perfect hostess, warm and welcoming and a true embodiment of our People First philosophy," said Peer Lauritsen, President, Oticon, Inc. "Janne is a consummate professional who even in the busiest times, always remembered employees with birthday flowers! She is a valued and much loved employee and we wish her well in her future endeavors." Janne plans to maintain her planning and management skills in retirement. Her latest itinerary includes very active bridge playing, looking after her garden, and improving her handicap on the golf courses together with her husband Ole.
