Hi, I'm a Peter Jones, but am I the right one? Welcome to my brandyourself.com profile!

Peter Jones's Bio:

Hi, am I the right Peter Jones?  PLEASE NOTE I ONLY CONNECT WITH PEOPLE I KNOW - don't just invite me, ring me and tell me who you are, what you do, why we should connect!.... ================ Isn't it amazing what skills people think they have, and, even more astonishingly that others will "endorse" them for these "non-existent" skills on LinkedIn! Wow! I have been working in the IT&T field for 20+ years. I've learned a lot. "Experience is what you get just after you needed it" is one of my favourite quotes! 1 - I help people with their work problems/challenges. 2 - I get things done and make things happen. 3 - Results count. 4 - I'm a straight talker, candidly delivering good news and bad news as required to prospects, customers and partners (colleagues, and direct reports too, see item 3 above). 5 - I am not interested in a popularity contest - see items 1, 2, 3 and 4 above, but I absolutely love to have fun at work. My word is my bond. I don't believe in win:win, I believe in win:win:win, and, more often than not win:win:win:win.... Most importantly, I don't talk about myself on Linked In in the Third Person! That is so annoying! I have worked with MT partners to secure some of the largest Cloud/SAAS deals signed in Australia. These include many iconic brands in fiercely competitive situations. It's great to have a strategy, but it's more important to execute to it! The difference? Talking the talk vs walking the walk.... http://twitter.com/exaustron Specialties: Cloud Service/Sales, Managed IT Services, Platform-as-a-Service, Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Systems availability, Software-as-a-Service, strategic vendor relationships, application performance, anything to do with LAN/WAN/voice and mobile networking, Business Strategy, New Economy Business Model, IT Management Approaches.
