Résumé
I have extensive experience on the international cloud scene in the IT industry and have been engaged in many large global value delivery and strategy execution projects, as a Cloud Architect, Program Manager or Senior Project Manager. I have worked extensively with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver value through agility, innovation and cost reduction, and am a certified AWS Solution Architect.
All the projects I have worked on have been global digital transformation projects. As I come from Ireland and have been working in Denmark for more than 30 years, I can very easily integrate and manage international teams.
I specialize in accelerating the delivery of what the business needs through my practical and pragmatic approach to getting things done. Coming from a technical background I have worked with many different business domains, IT platforms and architectures. I have a depth of experience with systems management and large infrastructure projects and getting the job done so that the business benefit can be realised is at the core of my deliveries.

In October 1999 John was given the opportunity to establish the e-business solutions department, with the intention of addressing the e-business market both in Denmark and the rest of Europe. The job involved getting a department organised in such a way that technical creativity could blossom as well as keeping a close eye on the bottom line. John's department consisted of 45 employees divided into different groups: Development, E-commerce, Architecture, Support and Facility Management.
From July 1997 until October 1999 John was senior project manager for two large projects. The first project was to build an international web-site for the Kompass organisation (www.kompass.com) and the second project was to build an electronic product catalogue for a large international Danish shipping company. The first project entailed gathering data from 72 different countries and inserting the data into a common Oracle database: building an application to search in this database and maintain it: and putting this application on the Internet. This was a large global web site where the project team consisted of many different nationalities and most of the work was done over the Internet.
The second project involved getting data out of legacy systems into an Oracle/Unix environment and putting a web front-end on the database. This was a very complicated project involving GIS technology, messaging architecture, and heavy business logic. This project took 35 man-years to complete and was completed within one year.
Before these projects John was working on a series of different projects for the company. One such project involved designing, developing and implementing a customer service system for a large Danish tele operator Sonofon. This system was based on a workflow system to ease the process of registering and servicing mobile telephone customers. Fax integration, direct scanning and viewing of documents where the main challenges of the project.
