Starting from the bottom, with the escorting-duties, and basic troubleshooting on the shop-floor, he managed his way through governmental, financial and commercial datacenters.

He is recognized for technical expertise, and his business-acumen when it comes to Manufacturing processes.

His core responsibilities are delivering the Services in and besides the Data Center. Primary uptime, daily support and safety-regulations are some terms that suit best.

In the current scope are 55 locations, across the globe. With a variability in size and scope, every site requires a different approach.
