About Me
In my role as IT manager in a dynamic and highly flexible service company, I was able to consolidate an important experience in many areas of technology. My involvement in complex projects has improved my IT skills allowing me to deepen my knowledge of the business processes of its organizational complexity and manage the certification process of the company for which I worked.
Currently my role is that of IT Manager and Business Process Coordinator for a leading company in the financial services sector, providing coordination and accountability of the activities of Information Technology, with particular emphasis on the management, control and implementation of business processes supported by information systems. My responsibilities include system security through the creation and maintenance of standards of information security. My role is also in people management, budget and functional areas. Highly motivated, enthusiastic, proven ability to motivate and manage teams, but also to operate in complete autonomy.
Specializations:
Developing a PERSONAL BRAND is similar to PRODUCT BRANDING. The overall goal with branding is to differentiate YOURSELF in the market so you can attain your objectives, be those landing your dream job or becoming a famous singer. the process includes defining YOUR BRAND and BRAND ATTRIBUTES, positioning yoour brand in a different way than your competitors and then managing all aspects of your PERSONAL BRAND. Lisa Quast (Forbes)
What I Do
IT Infrastructure Consulting
Infrastructure Consulting means support companies in all stages of challenging IT projects. Help them to plan their infrastructure and to optimize it with lasting effect. With aims that are to reduce complexity, to minimize costs and to realize growth potential. By using innovative tools and new standards aimed at technology such as cloud computing. However, many consultants approach cloud computing as an infrastructure-only issue. Considering the whole business, including mission and objectives, or core attributes of each system, because it's more about what you're moving and why.IT Strategy and Planning Consulting
For companies that do not have a sufficient informatic know-how, the use of external consulting figures, which guide them in the preparation of a IT Strategy or IT Planning, produces a double saving: the first, more immediate perception stems from the fact that, being able to be side by side in the approach to the supply market figures that this market in-depth knowledge, are able to trigger competitive mechanisms, predecessors savings on the purchase price, sometimes very significant. Then there is a second type of savings, less noticeable, perhaps, but probably most important, is to acquire exactly what the company needs.IT Security Consulting
Enterprise networks have become so complex that few IT departments truly have the resources and expertise to manage them entirely on their own, particularly when it comes to keeping them secure. Outsourcing certain aspects of physical security -- such as lobby guards -- is commonplace, but enterprises have only relatively recently begun turning to third-party managed security services (MSS) to block spam and filter Web and email content. The model allows an organization to concentrate on its core competencies and manage its business instead of having to manage an IT infrastructure. IT security processes lend themselves well to outsourcing because they scale well, making them cheaper for a specialist company to deliver. Outsourcing also reduces capital and operating expenses by eliminating the need to hire and train specialized staff and purchase dedicated equipment.
Data-Driven Consulting
In order to reduce costs, optimize IT operations and maintain their competitive advantage, organizations are relying on remote database administration solutions. Experienced remote DBAs can help organizations increase productivity, address daily database operations, spearhead strategic initiatives and ensure databases are secure and highly available. Augmenting in-house IT resourceswith remote DBA services can free senior administrators to focus on business-critical tasks, and allow them to respond to market changes and competitive threats.
