Introduction

[alexmccarthy]

Hi everyone,

I work in IT business development, which evolved from my core training as a credentialed Network Engineer (Cisco, Microsoft, and Nortel for those old enough to recall that last name).

I spend a lot of time still working close to the front lines, engaging with senior executives and technical stakeholders, to design, deploy and support the right solutions which power the business outcomes these companies require.

I particularly enjoy working with the Sydney based Meraki team, and relish the chance to broaden my technical and sales knowledge.

Sorry, forgot the fun fact.

I restore police motorcycles.

Feel free to pop over to www.policebikes.com.au  to see what the other half of my brain does!

That's awesome. I have a major soft spot for police motorcycles. The American TV show Chips is also probably the seed that made me get into motorcycling.

Welcome to the community.

You say Nortel like it's old... I'm 34 and I've seen Nortel switches in production at clients.

This is more a comment on my clients' view of IT in their budget, I know. However.
