He has the technical and cultural know-how and expertise, has provided his services directly to companies such as IBM, DEC, and Microsoft, has lived and / or worked in several countries (Netherlands, UK, Ireland, Belgium, France and Germany), and has built up a CV extensive enough to impress even the most critical reader.
