“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.” (Michael Jordan)
I’m currently working as Country Pre-sales & Solutions Architecture Manager for Dell Technologies Netherlands.
The Presales Solution Architects team is responsible for organizations with modernizing, automating and transforming their IT environments. We do this by helping them align IT with business strategies.
I have a proven track record of over 20 years of experience in IT. Worked as an IT Administrator, Technical Trainer, Presales, Portfolio Leader, Program Manager, Lead Architect and as an Advisory Systems Engineer, Presales Lead Government before becoming Senior Manager Presales Solutions Architecture.
I’m a creative out-of-the-box thinker. One of my greatest strengths is the ability to shift between a technical and a strategic focus and bring the two together for the best possible outcome. My greatest passion is enablement (coaching/mentoring), whether that’s associate level (pre)sales employees or seasoned account executives.
I’m a confident (public) speaker and do so frequently. I participate in various expert panels like the ‘Computable Awards’ as a subject matter expert and member of the main jury. I am very passionate about blogging and have published over 50 articles/blogs in several IT magazines and podcasts in order to inspire and educate.
I always love to refer to the famous Rick Astley song. I never gave up and never let my colleagues, team(s) and customers down. Combined with a never stop learning philosophy.
