What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and teamwork, with opportunities for growth.

I am a detail-oriented IT Manager with over 20 years of experience in IT service management, cybersecurity, and software localization. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a passion for lifelong learning. I thrive in collaborative environments, yet I am equally effective when working independently. My ability to manage IT systems and develop strategies has been instrumental in driving organizational success.

Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles, including Director of IT at Mandarin Oriental, where I managed IT systems and led a talented team. My experience encompasses IT/IS integration, cybersecurity compliance, and the development of innovative solutions. I have a strong technical foundation, with expertise in operating systems like Windows 10/11 and Windows Server, as well as tools such as Microsoft 365 and Azure.

I am dedicated to continuous improvement and have a proven track record of successfully managing IT budgets and collaborating with external vendors. My goal is to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to a forward-thinking organization that values innovation and teamwork.
