I feel personally proud of is my ability to connect to people, the ability to make people work as a team, together for a common goal. I have had plenty of praise from managers, co-workers, peers, subordinates, employees and customers during the years; praise for who I am, the skills I have and for the work environment I supply to and for people.

My compassion is to do the right thing for customers as well as for sub-ordinates and peers, finding innovative and smart solutions that will deliver results. This also spills over to the appreciation expressed by my customers, as a well-executed project (time, budget and outcome) creates a happy and content customer.

Employment History

Self-employed, CEO of own company; 2003 – Present, Toronto-Ontario, Canada

Project manager, Business consultant, Business analyst, System architect, Developer

I have been working with customer in-house IT teams as well as with my own hired and subcontracted business consultants, project managers and developers. My work have involved anything from saving failed projects, structuring up IT use in companies, developing functions and features according to specific business needs and in relation to ERP functionality and anything in between. The end goal has always been advancing the use of IT to save cost and increase revenue through business consulting and analysis, project management, system design, development to deliver functional solutions to my customers, often cutting individual workloads into a fraction of what they were, and at the same time gaining information feeding important KPI’s and management measurements.

I have consistently provided increased revenue streams and cost cutting and optimized procedures for my customers over the last 15 years, lowering cost and increasing turnover. The customers I serviced have stayed with me in average 7-10 years, some longer some less.

IBS Canada: 2000 – 2002, Toronto-Ontario, Canada

Executive Sales Manager, Business analyst

I managed all ERP sales activities, with focus on the Canadian market and International sales flowing in from IBS HQ central sales, also mentored the technical staff (developers) on standards and methods used to maintain integrity of functions, making them able to successfully develop additional features on standard functions in the ERP. This also made IBS Canada able to properly maintain and support existing installations.

In 2001/2002 I successfully closed the contract on the largest ERP installation (software, hardware, services) for IBS Canada to date, and I handed the project over for implementation.

In both sales and as a mentor, through my efforts, IBS Canada was able to add international customers to their customer base, as the local skill level made it possible to support and maintain such installations.

My experience ranges from project management through business analysis to specifications to actual solution development, of either generic ERP solutions to bespoke customer specific solutions. Most of the technical work (applications and development of them) I have been involved in, are still in use by 1000’s of users worldwide, and are still sold and implemented today.

At IBS I had the exposure to a lot of different B2B scenarios in various parts of the world, thus giving me the wide ranging experience of ERP sales (with contract and agreement negotiations), ERP fit analysis, Country specifics (like tax regulations and accounting practices), Supply chain processing with Sales Order process restructuring, Inventory level optimization, simplified Payment routines, solutions for Credit card and Debit cards, EDI, i.e. anything to do with Supply Chain and Finance in an IT solution.

Over the years I negotiated and came to agreement with vendors, customers, employees and resources, i.e. the full spectrum of external and internal relations.
