About Me

My Story
Spreading the word about who I am - and what my Company can do for you and your Company - is what I am all about. Finding new accounts is only a part of what I do. Learning about my Client's requirements is another part.
However, the biggest (and best) part is learning about my Client, their needs, their environment, their goals and objectives. As Vice President at APT IT Professional Services, I lead our Technology Operations and Global Recruitment divisions, driving the company's strategic growth across international markets.
My role bridges technical delivery and talent acquisition, ensuring our teams deliver world-class software solutions backed by the right talent and operational efficiency.
