What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical leadership roles where I can be a part of or lead cloud migrations and operational transformation, deliver measurable cost savings, and mentor cross-functional teams.

I am a business and technology professional with 20 years delivering IT initiatives that drive capability uplift, cost reductions, and business process optimization across Finance, Telecommunications, Resources, Chemicals, Products, Health Care, Transportation and Public Sector clients.

I have led large-scale cloud and datacenter migrations (including a 1000+ server AWS migration in South East Asia), built and managed international teams responsible for 500+ application migrations, and delivered over USD 9M in chargeable work for a global mining client while creating packaged cloud offerings that generated multi-million dollar partner pipelines.

I combine hands-on technical expertise in AWS, hybrid cloud, virtualization and application delivery with strategic program and operations leadership (including COO and IT Director roles) to design pragmatic solutions, reduce costs, and accelerate time-to-value for customers.
