Experienced leader with a demonstrated history of working in the international machinery industry. Strong IT professional skilled in Business Process, ITIL, IT Program management, Service Management, IT Strategy, IT Security and Data Center, including public cloud.My career started from a technical background as a development/design engineer. Starting in the business gave me the opportunity to experience the challenges that come along in the business and its processes. From there I moved into IT, by setting up the automation of the engineering department. With that background I expanded my role into running general and organization wide IT projects. This leaded me into various general IT management roles which I have filled in over time, including business applications like ERP and PLM.Because of my broad knowledge and open mind I am able to challenge the domain experts and my stakeholders in a positive way; trigger them to look at topics from different angles, and via that approach achieve the best (supported) results. Often also recognized by vendors, who have been using the results for reference purposes (see example media below).Last/current major project was defining a global hybrid datacenter strategy, defining a 'physical' datacenter (legacy apps) as well an Azure (IAAS) platform. After board commitment execution of the strategy; migration of the local datacenter services to the new global datacenter, contract based on agile sourcing and Software defined (infra-as-code, see Joe movies below).
