Speaking

My experience revolves around the implementation of enterprise metadata and collaborative solutions. Over the past 25 years, I have worked in Information Technology field. This experience has provided me with the opportunity to develop a wide variety of experiences. In addition, my research work for the Ph.D. has opened up new dimensions of knowledge. I'm an experienced and highly rated speaker, covering a wide variety of metadata and collaboration related topics that range from introductory tutorials to in-depth discussions of the business strategy and architecture implications.
