I've been in technology-related work most of my career, with years in UNIX system administration and management of same, volunteer ISP administration and some non-profit BoD experience... 16 years with Newbridge / Alcatel / Alcatel-Lucent offered a great learning opportunity, and an ex-pat assignment to Australia which "stuck" since 2006. Since 2009 I have joined what was then a customer, Telstra for another perspective.I've lived and can accept employment as I please in the US, Canada, and Australia and I have to say, it sure is nice here, in all of the above.My goals include Making a Difference, staying wealthy enough to do the fun things I want to do, and maintaining happiness and some pretense of sanity whilst doing so!Specialties: Security assessment, third party access models, M&A diligence and post M&A security harmonization pre-network-cutover. Delivery of secure solutions via process and communications and accountability. Of late I am starting to think my primary value-add is showing teams and individuals certain viewpoints or strengths they can apply to succeed and advance the customer's plight and their own career to boot. It's been very rewarding to see.
