Staff Spotlight: Dan Kuykendall, National Solutions Manager
Dan has been the National Solutions Manager with Cirrus Australia since April 2008. He joined the Cirrus team after a successful 8+ years with IBM, where he managed the IBM Software Group Services business for Queensland and the Northern Territory. Dan’s years of experience in IBM, his knowledge of the IBM S/W portfolio and the services required for a successful implementation, enable him to help our customers determine the best IBM S/W solution, that is ‘fit for purpose’. When it comes to service delivery, Dan and our entire Cirrus team remain flexible to meet our customers’ needs, however it is Dan’s military background (20 years U.S. Navy), which he has called upon to instil a disciplined and rigorous approach to our services engagements. “It is this approach which enables us to deliver quality projects that deliver real value to our customers.
If you would like to have a conversation with Dan about our solutions, or just a chat about how he served 20 years in the U.S. Navy without ever going to sea….. ‘That’s another story’, give him a call, he’d love to hear from you.
