About me
With over 21 years of experience I have quickly adapted to many facets of new technology, with a specialty in the technical selling and deployment of network analysis and test equipment.
My experience covers all areas of network analysis and testing. Whilst primarily a technical person I have presentation and relationship building skills at all levels of an organisation including C-Level, strategic account planning, sales strategy, client retention, customer support, enterprise and service provider data networking and data centre virtualisation.
With a strong L4-L7 networking understanding gained from performance testing and analysis using Spirent Communications and Fluke Networks tools I also have excellent knowledge of testing methodologies, application performance analysis and deep dive troubleshooting.
Today I run, with my business partner Sergio Ferreira, PlexNet Pty Ltd, a network analysis and Testing Solutions company based in Sydney. We have a broad customer base including Enterprise, Government, Defence, Carrier and OEM across Australia.
