Personal Summary
I am a proactive professional with a reputation for bypassing barriers and achieving goals, with over 25 years of
experience in I/T, with the last years of my work focused on enterprise and solution architecture. I am seen as a
thought leader in these areas with a pragmatic focus, and before that, as an award winning developer and
architect/consultant.
I have a reputation for being innovative and hardworking, business orientated, having a global vision, contributing
as a team player, using my initiative, and assuming accountability as needed. My career has involved significant
international experience with considerable time spent in the US, as well as in Europe and other countries. In my
past positions, I travelled approximately 30% for work. In my last job at Cargill, I travelled primarily to Cargill’s
Minneapolis office in the US.
My experience includes a good knowledge of all aspects of IT - enterprise and solution architecture, strategy,
planning and project management, business and IT consultancy, development, infrastructure and support. I have a
committed belief that ethics and accountability are the foundations of successful businesses. By building rapport
and being reliable, friendly, open and honest, I have gained commitment and loyalty from both customers and the
teams I have worked with.
My career includes positions across business consultancy, development, project management, infrastructure and
support operations. I have worked from a local team level to positions of European and world-wide responsibility,
and can easily work with all levels within an organization to facilitate and drive project, goals and strategies
forward. My reputation is built on “getting it done” and finding solutions. Also, I have worked in or with, and
understand many types of business from international organizations to global corporations and business areas
from logistics to trading. Thus, I have a wide breath of knowledge to bring to any team.
For 2 years I, frustratingly and contrary to my work ethic the US immigration laws have restricted me from
working during the time I have been in the immigration process.
