With reference to my job history, I have had experiences with Business Continuity Management consultancy (ISO22301), with a certification of Certified Business Continuity Professional, Certified Lead Auditor for ISO27001 (Information Security Management System), ITIL V4 Foundation. In addition, I am versed in developing IT DR Plans, managing data canters hosting projects etc.

Being a BCM consultant for the last 7.5 years, I am exposing myself to other industries of related work. So as to be more versatile and also having an assurance to my occupation continuity. In addition, I am also looking to gain more knowledge on management of Risks, Compliance and Governance.

I have BCM experiences with the local telecommunication industry and I hope that I can make good use of my BCM knowledge for other industries as well, to increase my portfolio, with my deep interest in Business Continuity.

I also have my fair share of IT Disaster Recovery experiences, managing a number of Government turn-key projects that requires IT DR Plan. I was the IT-DR consultant that develops IT-DR Plans for the Government projects.

With my experience worked in a NCS data center environment, I have good understanding on Dedicated Recovery Sites or some may call it Work Area Recovery. I manage projects that requires to sells work seats (shared / dedicated) to customers, for their BCP. This attributes to my experience with internal pre-sales activities.

Prior to becoming a BCM consultant, I have been working with IT technical for at least 10 years. I have technical background up to server administration level and at some point, in my IT career, I was tasked to implement IT solutions for clients.
