Ed Daniel’s Summary

Experience:

• Software Product Development, Management & Marketing
• Technical, commercial and leadership experience in high tech, financial services, FMCG, government and healthcare
• Effective in providing vision and leadership to diverse groups & cultures in order to achieve goals
• Ability to develop rapport and trust with co-workers, executive management, clients and partners

Outlook:

One of my favorite quotes by Prof. Gary Hamel, December 2003:

"Strategic resilience is not about responding to a onetime crisis…it's about continuously anticipating and adjusting to deep, secular trends that can permanently impair the earning power of a core business. It's about having the capacity to change before the case for change becomes desperately obvious."

Goals:

I enjoy participating in open source projects, collaborating with various partners in the open source community and lobbying for open standards, formats & technologies.

I relocated to Paris in August 2009 and wish to continue my career in Software Product and IT service management for an organisation with a presence in Paris.
