ABOUT STEPHEN ROUX

I was looking at my LinkedIn profile summary, and let\'s be honest, it was boring. Here is a new version that better reflects who I am.I\'ve been through multiple IT roles in my career, worked with many different technologies, in both customer and internal facing positions, as an individual contributor or manager, in different countries and culture, and all these experiences taught me the following about myself:I can be the glue between technologies and businesses, I can speak tech and exec and I really enjoy being the man in the middle. I can do that because I have an extensive knowledge of both IT and business technologies, processes and governance. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives. I\'d describe myself as a tech evangelist. Throughout my career, I have developed my communication skills, and I\'m passionate about sharing with others what I\'ve learned and how to help. I enjoy public speaking as well, something I experienced throughout all my previous engagements.I\'m a comb shaped person, I developed strong technical skills with time and I\'m still learning new things day after day. That being said, I don\'t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions and prefer to work backward from customers needs. Last but no least, I enjoy working with people, I think you can make everything happen with a smile (truly). I stay calm when I faced adversity and I\'m best known for my positiveness amongst my coworkers. And of course, all my previous colleagues/employer will back me up on everything I said -)I was about to forgot, some words about my technical skills! I spent the first half om my career almost exclusively on Microsoft solutions, with strong expertise in identity platforms, database and UC solutions, and I slowly moved (with the market) to the cloud. This is now my home, with a strong focus on data platform and AI/ML solutions. Thanks for reading and please contact me if you want to know more about myself.
