For most of the last decade I worked exclusively in web-hosting. Starting out as a freelance application developer I've held a variety of positions. Iarna/Hostway was an intense period of development for me as a small company grew and became part of a larger one while absorbing other units itself. I made my strongest professional relationships there as the team of 5 I joined grew rapidly. Lots of fun, lots of hard work, lots of achievements, lots of stories.
Joining Fasthosts at a senior management level gave me the opportunity to develop my mangement skills in a very practical way within a familiar technical environment.
Technical support, customer service, project management, finding and retaining talent, individual and team development, application design and development, HR management, CRM and back office systems, contact centre management, reporting, monitoring.
