Editorial: In honour of Alan Gibson
I first met Alan Gibson on 24 September 2007 in Chiang Mai, Thailand at a seminar on developing service markets and value chains. Alan sat beside me in the morning plenary and introduced himself. Later that day, he invited me to join a group heading out for dinner. I was new to the field of service markets and value chains – I had come from the microfinance world and was looking for a change. I cannot imagine a better person than Alan to introduce me to the new world of market development; I was fascinated by what he had to say. We ended up talking until the wee hours that night, not noticing as everyone around us made their way back to the hotel.
