I am immensely passionate about maximizing business value using Information Technologies. With deep experience in Oracle Software and Hardware solutions as well as with Open Source tools, I work with Technology and Business Leadership to listen, understand and provide a vision for how to provide groundbreaking business value and customer satisfaction. This saves money and allows organizations to assign valuable staff to high-value business tasks. I have 20 years of experience with cutting edge technologies in leadership positions in high volume environments with stringent security requirements and tight deadlines. If you include my teen years, which much of I spent programming and “tinkering” with computers, it is almost 30 years – and computing it is still one of my great passions!I have a proven ability for executive communication and aligning People, Processes with Technology solutions. I pride myself in being an out of the box thinker with deep technical knowledge to backup any proposal, idea or vision of mine.While I prefer to work with Technical and Business leaders to provide vision and develop joint ROI and TCO models, I am not afraid to roll up my sleeves and hit the keyboard when the going gets tough – which it frequently does. Being a founder of Arisant and having grown the company from nothing into something quite special, I also have learned business acumen and this combined with my passion for computing makes me very well rounded. It is my conviction that Information Technology ultimately exists to serve the business but more importantly to make the world a better place for all of us. My areas of expertise include:- Enterprise Architecture- Business Intelligence- Data Integration- Identity and Access Management - Data Security- Large Volume Computing- Computing Infrastructures: On-Premises, Hybrid Cloud and Public CloudAttributes I hold dear: Kindness, Loyalty, Honesty, Passion, Innovation, Intelligence, Humor, Work Ethic.
