Systems Representative / Project Manager
Joined IBM as Systems Rep in December 1983, initially Project Manager at IBM France Translation Center.
- Managed localization of software and hardware for a variety of products, including Connected PCs and workstations.
- Trained and managed in-house translators and sub-contractors to ensure a timely delivery of high quality French documentation and products.
- Coordinated all services involved from IBM US and UK Labs to Engineering and Printing
Confirmed Systems Representative (1986-1988)
- Technical Support missions for Major Bank Accounts.
- Project Management and development of transactional applications.
- PC-to-Mainframe connection specialist
Although I learned a lot and I did enjoy my initial responsibilities as Project Manager of new and exciting projects in an international environment, I decided to resign in October 1988 in order to move to a Sales position.
About the company:
Once the undisputed leader and reference of the computer industry, at a time where mainframes and dinosaurs ruled the world, IBM Corp has become largely irrelevant from a technological perspective, although it is still a strong place for fundamental research and a very profitable consultancy and services business. And it was a good place to start!
