Title:  Senior Consultant
Employer:  TechCaliber Consulting
Nickname/Alias:  www.techcaliber.com

What I'm Best Known For (in the Telecom World):

I’m probably best known for having worked for a big user (IBM), a couple of major consultancies (Deloitte and Andersen), and having lived and worked in the U.S., London, Hong Kong, and, currently, Singapore.

Other Primary Areas of Expertise:

My main area of focus has been in supporting global clients through all stages of the telecom lifecycle for wireless, fixed line and managed services.

Summary of Professional Background:

I have more than 25 years of telecommunications experience and have held senior-level positions with IBM Global Services, Deloitte Consulting, Andersen and TechCaliber.

Prediction on the Future of Telecom & Telecom Managers:

Wireless, mobility and virtualization of the workforce – these are going to be the areas of growth for enterprises and require more attention from telecom managers.

Weirdest Thing People Usually Don't Know about Me:

I have little patience for watching a TV series over an entire season, so I buy the DVD set or download it from iTunes and watch the whole season in one go.

When I'm not talking or doing something in relation to telecom, I'm usually...

Working out. It’s much easier staying fit in Singapore when the temperature stays above 80 degrees every day of the year. 

Book and author I'm currently reading:

The Illusion of Certainty by Edward Bouwer, PhD.

CD currently or most recently in my car stereo:

Who listens to CDs anymore?  I did just listen to AC/DC’s Back in Black on my iPod.

The stupidest thing I've ever seen anyone do or say in relation to a phone:

Despite my warning clients (and my family) about the high cost of international roaming, my 16-year-old daughter ran up $1,000 in international roaming charges on her SingTel mobile on a two-week trip to Chicago.
