What moves you?
What moves me is AI, Artificial Intelligence.

For the last year or so I have joined seminars and presentations whenever possible; I’ve brushed up on my old university math to facilitate a better understanding of the logic behind why particular algorithms are employed over others ...
I’ve listened to everything AI that I could find within my reach – I am motivated.

I’m the type of person that welcomes diversity and who can quickly adjust to new environments and/or situations. I persevere during adverse conditions; I remain steadfast on a chosen course of action/execution.
Besides being well-rooted and routined when executing daily tasks, I’m flexible and receptive to change if change becomes necessary or advantageous.

I have more than 24 years of varied work experience at Ericsson, mostly within the realm of technical management. This wealth of experience can be put to good use with regards to your engagement opening.

In a nutshell ....
• 11 years Integration Manager and Senior Specialist at GSM radio base stations (Ericsson, Stockholm-Sweden),
• 2 years Team Leader at OSS (SMO maintenance (Ericsson-Hungary),
• 4 years at UDM as Project Manager (3 years, Ericsson-Hungary and 1 year Ericsson-Spain),
• 1 year at CEE as Coordination Manager (Driver) between my organization and the open source, OpenStack Cloud development community (Ericsson-Hungary),
• 2 years as Project Manager in Expert Analytics (Ericsson-Hungary),
• 4 years as Engagement Manager in Expert Analytics (Ericsson-Hungary),

In my last Ericsson R&D role as Engagement Manager I facilitated SW development initiatives, product delivery projects at customer sites, and served as a communication pipeline between the company's internal stakeholders; the Customer Business department and the Software Research & Development department.

New job challenges offer new opportunities for personal growth and development. I’m always open for new prospects, new technologies, and new ways of working, especially if it is related to AI.
Management is my strength, let it shine for both of us, let it shine via an AI engagement.
If I'm the person you're looking for, then please contact me.

Best regards,
George

    We (7 westerners) trained for 6 months in management (a crash course held in Denmark). We then flew to Zimbabwe and marched into the jungle of the 'Park Estate' area (North of Harare) to lay out the terrain for building a Management School for students coming from the countries surrounding South Africa. At that time South Africa was still practicing Apartheid.
