Luis Orozco Peinado

Michael is one of he most reliable professionals I’ve worked with. Highly organized and extremely focused on service quality. He is a very good professional with an extended technical knowledge, as well as good business skills, with the right attitude and commitment.

Liliana Dondea

Michael is one of those rare self-driven professionals who never stop challenging themselves by taking on programs and delivery roles beyond/at edges of their jobs. Michael was my tech partner in several programs and he was a key driver in defining and delivering technical solutions resulted from deep collaboration with business stakeholders. Michael is highly reliable, has strong planning and delivery skills; and is in constant search to increase his (team) delivery agility by keeping a highly collaborative and structured approach to execution.

      As the time had come to move back to my birth country (Austria) I took the opportunity between jobs to take a year off. This gave me the chance to realize some projects I had planed for long (like a bicycle hike to the North-cape) and also enabled me to work on my professional profile by adding certifications and skills. The main highlights are: - Personality/skills training with a Coach from ViennaMedia (Communication, Team Motivation) - Oslo - Northcape by bicycle - Part of pilgrims-path in the north of Spain - Certification in ITIL and Prince2 (Foundation level) - Volunteering in social projects to mitigate refugee-crises Show less

      I was hired into this very process based and structured company as a senior Network Engineer. By this time I was (and still am) the only fix member of the IT team and apart of essential IT infrastructure the department had to be built up from scratch. I soon started assuming most of the responsibilities of the Technology & Support Manger by starting to build up the support team and implementing basic functions of the IT department like IT asset control and inventory (HW, licences and services), cost-control, budgeting, structured approach to User-Helpdesk service.
