My name is Michael Danielson, and I help organizations set up data centers and internal computer networks for seamless operational efficiency. Over the last two decades of my career, I have excelled in managing technical networking projects, enhancing the performance of IT project teams, and leading network build. I have thrived at leading teams during all project phases, planning network architecture activities, and identifying areas of improvement in the automated build process. Relying on my knowledge of the ins and outs of computer networks, I have implemented technology transformational changes, delivered integrated solutions at a lower cost, and instituted legendary project management practices to design robust networking products. Among other career accomplishments, I am proud to have designed 22+ network builds in 1 year, steered the IT project team in delivering end-customer products, and led the design of a new network data center across EMEA, APAC, and America regions. Being considered a lead project manager for a high-performing team across 40+ data centers and a “Top Sales Team” in North America in 2016 gives me great satisfaction.I believe that as a Technical Project Manager, the most important success factor is cultivating a culture of performance excellence among teams. The network engineers you hire, train, and manage can accomplish great things if a great leader is shadowing them. To that end, I always strive to eliminate redundant processes during the project lifecycle and work closely with team members to implement new technologies, streamline networks, and transition early-stage applications into mature optical networking products.
