My professional passion? Creating value for my customers: I advise on the best choices to optimize your IT budgets so you deliver successful projects. To do this I am part listener, analyst, detective, advisor, negotiator and project planner. It works in 3 simple steps: - sharing: of (your) business requirements, network design, project goals.- sourcing: procuring the best quality (refurbished) IT equipment at unbeatable prices. - services (as needed): the added touch to simplify operations and guarantee top notch reliability.The impact on your business? outstanding value for money, greater budget flexibility, faster deliveries.Why I love my job : as a child of the sixties I already lived in the “circular” economy. Decades before the term was invented it was normal to share, reinvent and reuse. Food, clothes, books, building materials .. we had no internet yet but nothing was wasted!This “ future-proof habit” has stayed with me as personal philosophy which I've passed own to the next generation.. my three daughters.As an engineer and, later in my career, as broker I’ve experienced the fast paced adoption of many generations of new technologies . Since 2005 it’s been most exciting to see the increasing use of “refurbished” and its acceptance in the industry as “Best Practice” in network design. More than ever, in 2021, flexibility and creativity and optimism are needed to keep a sane outlook on life (and those working hours!) and build a better future for our families and loved ones.Looking forward to help!
