René Thorny | skovdiget 56 | 2880 Bagsværd | 40 8008 05 | rene@xolsen.com
CAREER OBJECTIVE
With over ten years of leadership experience, including heading an IT department at BIQ responsible for developers, operations, and support teams, I have become skilled in managing IT teams. In this role, I have overseen various aspects, including full-stack development, end-to-end operations, and providing support for complex IT systems and technology products.
My time in this position has helped me develop expertise in strategic IT planning, technology innovation, and staff training. These skills have been crucial in creating and implementing solutions that improve our IT operations, make our systems more reliable, ensure data protection, increase operational efficiency, and move our older systems to the cloud.
I strongly believe that fostering a positive and thriving organizational culture is vital for success. Therefore, I focus on creating an environment that promotes well-being, encourages professional growth, and empowers our team to consistently deliver great results. This approach not only helps us excel in technology and compliance but also builds a supportive and thriving workplace, which is essential for our overall success.
As a leader, my mission goes beyond technology and compliance. I am dedicated to using emerging technologies to develop our IT department, create innovative solutions, ensure GDPR compliance, and enhance IT security and reliability. Additionally, I am committed to stabilizing our older systems, moving them to the cloud, and providing comprehensive training to our organization to improve our IT capabilities and readiness in the ever-changing tech landscape.
