MEERBEEK

En résumé

During my entire career I had exposure to the International (Global) Telecommunications industry. I had the opportunity to build organisations from scratch but have primarily been involved in operating and restructuring large organisations to make them more productive and financially more effective. The integration of WorldCom and UUNET is a clear example which has led to major cost reductions and a vastly improved customer service. Exposure to managing large capital and SG&A budgets.
The last year was more of an entrepreneurial venture setting up a new company in 5 European countries, offering total ICT solutions to the SME market. The offer included; hardware, software, applications and all management services.
