I’m responsible for 3 datacentres between Europe and America. •3 years ago I managed to start promoting, among the board of directors, awareness of the security risks the company was running, so I introduced the culture of security at all levels communicating with multiple level of management and introducing a set of security policies and standards. •In a constantly growing company where the number of servers has triplicated in 3 years I had to completely re-design the infrastructure to make sure it would meet the data privacy classification segregation requirements. I also managed to perform this infrastructure migration online on the production environment using very short maintenance windows (only 1 minute downtime possible). •I cooperated with the Service Manager to introduce an Incident Management & Crisis Management System for all services. •In the last 3 years I was happy to manage all aspects of program/project management from original concept through final implementation for both my own proposed projects and other’s.--
