Derek Jones’s Summary
Experienced in infrastructure IT project management. I have a reputation as a "get it done" project manager. I am able to manage failing projects and get them turned around and delivered. My no nonsense approach focuses on delivering business value to my clients.
I have consulted, designed, and project managed at all levels of networking equipment. From cable plants to security, I have done it all. I am able to investigate and document your IT systems and provide a recommendation on how to improve your systems and deliver the right technology to the right people at the right time.
