Director, Information Technology Operations and Amp; Engineering

Intelsat offers innovative connectivity solutions in order to relay information all over the globe.

As a seasoned IT leader I evaluate new technologies and trends in Data Center Infrastructure, IT Services, and Network Services, figuring out the best means to implement these to further business goals. To do this, I use my 23 years of IT experience, leading a team tasked with Data Center Management, IT Operations, Disaster Recovery Plan and user computing needs. Over the years I have successfully led many projects, a few key ones: -  In the summer of 2014, was IT Lead for move out of Intelsat from their Washington DC office to Tysons Corner, successfully moving entire staff and 24x7 NOC on schedule  In 2013 successfully led the data center design, build-out and data center migration to new facilities with zero disruption to operations  In 2006/2007 played a key role in the M&A of PanAmSat, developed the organization structure for new Intelsat. Successfully executed on the data center and service integration, the project was ahead of schedule, saving $1.5M in operating costs In 2005 due to the departure of the entire management team in Intelsat, I applied for and was appointed as Director, IT Operations and Engineering, to fill a leadership vacuum and setup a solid foundation for Intelsat’s IT Infrastructure Services. Performing in this role since, I lead a team of architects and engineers, successfully delivering on business goals. I have successfully led numerous projects over the years, from M&A, data center design/build-out/migration, office relocations and numerous new technology/upgrade initiatives. I started my IT career in 1991 working in Fujitsu’s manufacturing facility in India. Very quickly I transitioned from building computers to Customer Service and eventually to Technical Sales Support. In 1996 I immigrated to Singapore and worked in National Computer Systems for their client Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore. In 1997 I immigrated to US, working in Intelsat with progressively increasing responsibilities.
