I’m very positive and believe this merger is about building a stronger foundation for the technology of the future by combining networking and security, which will benefit users. In addition, increased expertise can lead to technological breakthroughs on a scale that neither of the two companies could have achieved alone.
My expectations are that the merged company will become a stronger player in the market while also gaining access to new customer segments.
I work as a network architect and security consultant in the Project and Delivery department. I am responsible for network architecture and implementation related to tasks involving mergers and acquisitions (M&A) as well as modernization projects. I use networking technologies such as SD-WAN, data security, and SASE.
I have busy days at work. Working with varied design and architecture tasks is highly stimulating and makes time fly.
Success for me means creating value. Contributing to the customer’s long-term growth, for example through a strong customer experience or a positive reputation. Success is also about developing yourself as a professional.
What I find most rewarding is analyzing business and technological needs, ensuring network performance, and seeing the bigger picture in systems. That gives a very satisfying feeling.
What I’m most looking forward to is the potential for technology and human collaboration to solve the major global challenges we are facing.
My phone says I use FamilyWall and Spond the most. That’s because of all the children’s activities and other family planning registered there.
Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going. – Sam Levenson
I spend a lot of time with my family and kids. We go on trips, or I follow their activities and tournaments, including chess, football, and swimming.
