Since I started with IT professionally in 1998 I have had the goal never to stop develop myself and pushing my limits. I'm always looking for opportunities to make whatever situation I'm into something better using the capabilities of the team.
By understanding the goals and values of an organization, I truly believe we can make a difference using technology, knowledge and some common sense. My creativity works best while constrained by what the goals and technology stipulates, since it creates a challange.
In my past professional roles I have had the opportunity to develop my passion for both business and technology and how they depend on each other. It doesn't really matter if it is creating a cloud strategy together with a customer, building an effective operations process or helping my team develop. I love to inspire and create value together with others.
I joined Insight to be a part of the journey we are on together with our partners and customers to leverage the innovative technologies and business models we have seen take form over the last couple of years. It's inspiring to be part of our dedicated local team, with the strenght of an global organisation backing us up. It's not always easy, but I guess that is part of the beauty of it.
