I was 9 when I bought my first computer. The year was 1981 and my father was baffled—how could I spend a year’s worth of savings on a quirky little box? My father, who knew little about computers, had no idea that these strange boxes would come to play such a big role in my future. They’d determine what I’d do for living, how I’d meet my wife during computer studies and where I’d set down roots.Even I would have been surprised to learn that I’d end up on the other side of the world thanks to my skills in computer software and hardware engineering, mobile and IP networks, and internet security.I found my true passion when my love of technology was combined with my talent in business and strategy planning. I hit this sweet spot when I worked as Head of Network and Service Optimisation at Nokia Siemens Networks. I learned here that I was at my best in a role that required a breadth of responsibilities, covering both people and business.I’ve now clocked up 19 years of experience working in the MNCs, telco and IT field, 15 of these in a multicultural environment. I’ve been in managerial positions for the past 12 years. As well as managing people, I’ve been accountable for leading sales processes, strategy, prioritisation and results. I’ve been involved in direct customer interface in multiple roles for 15 years, often receiving recognition for my customer relationship skills. I’ve also gained extensive experience building relationships at director level.I’m a growth mindset person and I need an organisation that can offer me challenges and room to innovate. I’m looking for an environment that welcomes continuous self-development; a place where I can offer the full range of my capabilities. Working for a company that allows my ambitions and strategic skills to flourish, I can guarantee that I’ll deliver results and secure long-term success.Specialties: solution sales, professional services, product management, consultative sales, network planning, cyber security
