Energetic bottom line driven, senior manager with proven Cloud sphere track record which includes a strong technical understanding of relevant vendor technologies, competitive advantage and value proposition. Possess a great communication style and negotiation skill in stakeholder management and people leadership, developed over 29 years in the ICT industry.I'm passionate about Cloud and the value proposition it brings to the table. In the S.A. context, the cloud environment is a fast changing sphere. Not only are org's facing stiff rivalry by global competitors entering, but also because cloud, in itself, has the power to fundamentally shift competitive landscapes by providing a platform for creating and delivering business value. As such, I.T. org's must continually strive to attain clarity around their competitive positioning. To take advantage of the Cloud’s potential to transform internal operations, customer relationships and industry value chains, they need to determine how best to employ cloud enabled business models that promote sustainable competitive advantage. By analyzing its Unique Competing Space (UCS) they can understand what their clients needs really are and then how to position themselves better to cater for it, through differentiation. Differentiate through customer knowledge, flexible solutions and premium quality of service – and not competing head on – is the key to contending. Do not compete on price. Unless you have the scale or deep enough pockets to go the full 12 rounds, -stay away from competing on price!

Listed skills include Cloud Computing, It Service Management, Itil, Virtualization, and 58 others.
