Director - Solutions Engineering @ NTT Global Data Centers

About

Over the past 23 years of working in the IT Services Industry I have experienced and have been heavily involved in several different aspects of IT. These have ranged from traditional Hardware and Service Support right the way through to designing and implementation of highly resilient and functional solutions for both internal and external customers. In the last 11 years my career has taken more of Management Role allowing me to help the business and my team drive their own growth and development. In doing so I have learnt to apply my technical expertise alongside good people skills to ensure an effective and exemplary service to my customers. I have also used this time to include Manage Services as a primary focus for my continual learning and now form part of a management team responsible for the companies hosting facilities.
