Top Skills Summary
Cloud Computing
I fervently believe that business transformation does not happen
Program Management
overnight and by itself. At the outset, it only takes the consolidation

of business intelligence, process improvements and strategic
marketing to make it work. However, looking deeper into the trend,
these requisites must be founded from a foolproof IT strategy and
innovation scouting which is devised not only to ensure business
growth but also to keep up with the times and secure long-term
business lifespan.
I am convinced that business growth merely follows the ripple-
effect of sustaining operational excellence following from topnotch
optimization of technological advances and innovation. In my latest
career engagements, I am expecting to deliver scalable solutions
by driving company-wide strategy and project lead on the overall
technological initiatives.
These and more make my career worthwhile and push me to strive
harder in my future endeavors as a Technology Director & Evangelist
in the fast-paced and high-impact world of innovation.
