Corporate Timeline

The company called SR Teleperformance S.A. was created in 1990 through a complex merger led by Société Rochefortaise de Communication (SRC). You will often see the company's history starting with the creation Teleperformance in 1978.

Encyclopedia.com2 has a slightly better article on the company's history than Wikipedia.1 Both articles miss some rather important things.

My opening is purely speculative. This story might be relevant. In the 1820s, French colonists brought vanilla vines to the colony of Réunion. There was not a native pollinator for the bean and they could not develop the crop. In 1841, a 12 year old inventor named Edmond Albius discovered a technique for pollinating the Vanilla orchid. Albius was a slave owned by a French botanist at the time.6

Mexico was the primary source for vanilla at the time. In 1910, there was a revolution in Mexico. This disrupted the world's vanilla supply.
