IT manager / PMO Manager / program manager
Location: Nieuwkerken, Belgium
I do have 20 year of experience in the IT sector, with a broad experience in managing international teams, and having a track record of delivering international infrastructure projects.
The last 10 years I was working for Sun Microsystems mainly in the services area, more specific professional services.
Within the company I've taken up different responsibilities :
* In my role as corporate program manager, I was the single point of contact for all service readiness aspect, and Telemetry business owner, within the EMEA region ( Europe Middle East & Africa ) ...
* In my role as the Project Management Office Leader for Central & Northern Europe, I was the bridge between the corporate PMO team and the Project manager teams within CNE . I was the driver / coach for the European Project Manager community, deployed a common methodology ( PRINCE 2 ), project health monitoring, aligned the different project manager teams , ...
* In my role as operations manager, I have managed 20 people and I've broaden my knowledge of the financial business aspect .I was responsible for quarterly financial closes, business forecasting, budgeting, cost control, P&L management , ...
* In my role as Team Leader Delivery team, I was the manager of a team of 12 direct reports and responsible for projects in delivery, individual development plans, migration to Oracle Project Accounting, ...
As a person, I'm a leader type who's result driven, well organized, open and direct, and who acts as a team coach.
I'm a people manager who goes for an open ?no nonsense? working environment where openness, honesty and integrity are the key elements to success. I'm friendly and a good communicator, and this on all levels of the organization.
For the moment I am immediate available
I would like to discuss further with you in a meeting, and I'm looking forward to receive a reaction from your side
kind regards,
