About Candidate
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a consistent ability to lead complex network design, implementation, and
operations, ensuring seamless connectivity and optimal performance across wide area networks (MPLS/WANs) and
Local Area Networks (LANs). My tenure at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) has equipped me with the skills
to manage and support extensive network infrastructures, encompassing 26 countries and involving various
technological platforms.
In my current role as Director of Networks & Unified Communications at RFE/RL, I have successfully overseen the
architectural design and implementation of voice, data, and video networks. I have a proven track record in contract
administration, cross-departmental collaboration, and strategic planning for local and wide area networks. My efforts
have consistently resulted in increased efficiency, minimized downtime, and maximized network availability.
Key achievements in my current and previous roles include:
è Leading the integration of advanced Cisco products and solutions to enhance network performance and security.
è Implementing comprehensive security policies and procedures to strengthen organizational security posture.
è Managing complex incident response and forensic analysis to effectively contain and investigate breaches.
è Overseeing the successful migration of legacy systems to modern, scalable network solutions.
My technical proficiency spans a wide array of applications, hardware, systems, and protocols, including Cisco ISR/ASR
routers, Catalyst switches, Cisco IOS/CatOs, ACI/SDN, Cisco CUCM, Cisco DNA, OSPF, and BGP4. Additionally, I
possess exceptional communication skills, enabling me to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical
stakeholders and collaborate effectively with diverse teams.
I am particularly impressed with your company’s commitment to innovation and excellence. I am eager to bring my
expertise in network infrastructure management, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement to your
organization. My strategic vision and hands-on experience can contribute significantly to your company’s goals.
