• Reseller of Norman software

  The Challenge (Self-employed)

  (Self-Employed; Myself Only; Computer Software industry)

  October 2000 — January 2003 (2 years 4 months)

  In January of 1997 I was introduced to the Norman company, my present work. I started using "Thunderbyte antivirus" (the forerunner or Norman Virus Control) as my favorite antivirus program and I started advising this software to friends. Later on I was asked to become a reseller, what I did as a second income. This ended in October 2002, when I was invited by Norman to become the director of Norman Belgium. Officially my company 'the challenge' stopped with its actvities for Norman when I was able to start Norman Belgium officially in January of 2003.
