- Team leader Local IT at Greenpeace InternationalInformation Technology and Services | Amsterdam Area, Netherlands, NLSummary
But, whither have these gentle ones,
These rosy nymphs and black-eyed nuns,
With all of Cupid's wild romancing,
Led by truant brains a-dancing?
Instead of studying tomes scholastic,
Ecclesiastic, or monastic,
Off I fly, careering far
In chase of Pollys, prettier far
Than any of their namesakes are,--
The Polymaths and Polyhistors,
Polyglots and all their sisters.,Experience- Aug 2012 - PresentTeam leader Local IT / Greenpeace
