Since renting space in different datacentres worldwide my ambition was to build our own datacenter. To be involved as owner is an extra motivation to meet up to the targets of GYRO Center. In my role as projectmanager during the build of the datacenter I could add a personal touch to the project.

After finishing the building op GYRO center DC-2 (as project manager), I got enthusiastic with my new assignment. As account director at GYRO center my goal was to make sure as much as possible enterprises worldwide discover the advantages of outplacing/outsourcing their ICT infrastructure into a secure, reliable datacenter environment. I was responsible for finding new markets, expansion opportunities on existing markets, and of course to make sure the existing clients in my portfolio (medium-large accounts) got what they wanted and could set up strategic alliances with us to support further growth for both parties. The products I offered clients were serviced from one of our 2 datacenters in Amsterdam, GYRO center DC-1 or DC-2.In this role I was also responsible for the development of the sales team, consisting of 2 account managers, a marketing executive, 2 business development managers and an inside sales representative, all reporting to me regarding sales of the datacenter activities.

Customers recognized my social- and commercial skills during interaction with me, which led to the CEO appointing me as account manager to service the top 30 customers of ReasonNet.As account manager sales I was responsible for offering clients the highest possible service level for our IT products. ReasonNet is a quitte formal company, the personal relation with our clients (from medium to large) is very important. Besides servicing existing clients I was always looking for new opportunities and clients, combined with developing new services together with our technical department.The combination of technical know-how and commercial skills proved to be very valuable to the further development of the company.

As a project manager I was responsible for coordinating the building of ReasonNet holding's own datacenter, GYRO center DC-2 (www.datacenter-amsterdam.com). After being involved in the designing and engineering of the datacenter (including working with new, power-efficient and in other ways sustainable solutions), I was assigned the task to manage the actual building of the datacenter, which was finished succesful within the planned 3 months, and within budget.

As a result of the experience and knowledge I built up during my employment as technical engineer and technical manager at ReasonNet, I was the first in line to be selected as traffic manager. ReasonNet had the need for a traffic manager due to rapid growth of client portfolio and amount of internal projects, as well as external projects. As traffic manager I was responsible for all communication lines within the company and acted as a intermediary between management and employees, and between customer and employees. Hereby I needed to create a administration for all information and work on accurate planning for delivery dates and milestones. One of the tasks in hands of the traffic manager was the full provisioning management.Several technical members of staff reported to me.
