About

What eleven years of client escalations taught me

My background is in IT and communications networks. I've spent my career on the side of the industry where connectivity actually reaches people: fixing it when it breaks, hosting it when it grows, and managing it when things go wrong. That path took me from hands-on support work into leading teams, and now into owning the client relationship itself.

There's room here for more of your story: what drives you, and what you're looking for next.
