As an experienced IT manager/enterprise architect I connect vision with decisiveness and combine my passion for IT to drive people to excel. In my work I have been demonstrated that I can wear the responsibilities required, and can give shape to changes in an organization in a positive manner. I’m able to create support within a professional team in an expiring way. I always try to recognize the engineers qualities and use them for optimal deployment. I would also like to describe myself as someone who controls where necessary, delegates where’s possible but also someone who has an eye for the person behind the IT engineer , as one who communicates in an open and transparent way with management, engineers and other stakeholders.
