I joined Siemens after they sold their shares in GPT to Marconi. I re-located with my family to Munich. I initially joined the Cable Systems Division but when Siemens divested this division to Corning, I joined the Network Engineering Services Div.

(Senior Consultant Network Engineering Solutions (ICN NES) Division (Permanent)

My role as a Consultant was supporting various Network Bid and Project departments, tasked with assisting both internal and external customers with contractual, business and technical issues in bidding for new generation optical communication networks.  I worked on projects for;

My role was as Project Manager involved in all aspects including the Business relationships with customers and key suppliers, working very closely with the head office and territory Sales Teams.

Key projects included;

  • I instigated the development of a new range of SDH/DWDM optical communications equipment to enhance the Siemens submarine cable business.  I made a formal presentation to the main board of Siemens to justify this development. The newly produced equipment subsequently generated over $200m of additional sales.
  • I was the bid, contract and project manager in charge of the $25m Azores submarine network for Marconi Portugal including the supervision of the development and sub contracting of a new 400Km system. I was congratulated by the Marconi director on single handily managing the project despite huge operational problems.
  • I was the bid, contract and project manager in charge of a system for the Greek national operator OTE and a variety of other submarine network projects in Greece. I worked closely with the unit director and sales & marketing managers advising customers both on the business and contractual aspects of possible network solutions.
