Fred Maranhao’s Summary

I have a total of 9 years of experience working within the IT industry. During this period, I participated in several projects, from conception and definition, through the proof of concept, development, implementation, up to post-production training and support.

For the past 2 years, I have worked as IT Manager for Makro Asia’s regional headquarters in Bangkok, which controls Makro’s supermarkets in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, China and Pakistan.

Prior to that, I worked as Team Coordinator for Extend Software, a company specialized in Software Development and Consulting which provides solutions to multinational companies. I spent 5 years in that role.

At last, during the first 2 years of my career, I worked as Systems Analyst for RioLink Internet, an ISP company.

During all these years I have worked with people from different countries and cultures, and, as a result, I have developed my interpersonal relationship skills, which enables me to generate more synergy with my working colleagues and, consequently, increase their productivity levels.
