About Victor F.

I\'m an experienced IT professional that has led innovative and dynamic teams and projects for over 15 years. I have a passion for technology and firmly believe in its ability to transform and empower everyone and everything, from individuals to global organizations. My technology background combined with business acumen provides the crucial bridge for success in an environment where many projects and implementations fail due to lack of understanding/alignment from either the business or technology side.I believe effective project management, ITIL/ITSM, and governance are crucial frameworks for success. I have also led business development via consultative sales for managed IT services and identified new business opportunities. This also includes building and maintaining relationships with key decision makers/influencers and achieving service level agreements (SLA\'s).Expertise in: IT Project Management | Strategy | Governance | IT Operations | IT Transformation | Change ManagementExperience in Industries:Technology | Financial Services | Life-science | Healthcare | Construction | Real Estate | Gaming | Hospitality Credentials:PMP | ITIL v3 Foundation | MCSE | MBA from UCI - focus IT / strategy.Projects include:Shifting into a cloud service model via SaaS/PaaS/IaaS.
