Joe Kwon
Nodded off in law school and woke up at a Big 4 accounting firm building a Global Privacy program. Blinked and a decade later I was performing Global Compliance audits for one of the World's Most Ethical Companies. Now, I'm conducting marriage counseling between Privacy laws and Global IT systems. I'm looking to lead the charge in creating programs a Fortune 500 company would be proud to write home about. That is, if its parents were the Board of Directors and government regulators.
Michael "Fritz" Fritzius
For a software team, demands can be intense, both internally and externally. Outside, there's competition, customers and deadlines. Inside, it's fire fighting, technical debt and maintenance.
Your chief export should be awesome software. If it's not, that's where I come in. My chief export is making obstacles to that goal go away.
I do it by combining experience with technology, and creating unique solutions that not only efficiently solve problems, but are written to fit your team, instead of forcing your team to fit them.
