I am an accomplished Information and Communications Technology professional with over ten years experience of managing complex ICT projects. I manage all aspects of these projects including commissioning, MIS, budget and project-tracking., monitoring related activities, co-ordination, activity tracking, budgeting, report writing and human resources through to completion. I have most recently been working for major telecoms operators in India and South Africa.
Major OSP Project Delivered -
Nokia Siemens Networks - National long-distance fibre-optics network - Bloenfontein to Beaufort West NLD 3
Qick Televentures SA (Pty) Ltd
Team Members: Andreas Botha, Micheal Botha
The trenching, laying of ducts (back filling) and installation of manholes from Bloemfontein to Hanover as well as hard rock drilling from Bloemfontein to Beaufort West, distance 544km. "The optic-fibre network will provide Neotel, Vodacom and MTN with almost infinite bandwidth capacity to carry more information (voice and data) at higher speeds over greater distances, using far less power than copper cables," said Neotel Business Support Services
Huawei Technologies Africa, Drilling
Qick Televentures SA (Pty) Ltd
Team Members: Andreas Botha , Baraka , Martin, Micheal Botha
With growth of technologies such as HSI and IPTV, fixed network traffic explodes, driving rapid development of services including FTTx, WDM, IP Core, and IMS. Network building and IP-based reform result in centralized applications of new products and services. That poses new challenges to network planning, design, integration, smooth migration, rapid service distribution, and efficient network O&M. Based on its project practices over decades, Huawei provides Fixed Network Integration Solutions including national broadband integration, IPTV network integration, IMS integration, and fixed network evolution for typical networking scenarios of operators, to help them rapidly build their networks, put their services into commercial use, and increase their operating income.
Possesses a truly international mindset and experience, having worked in South Africa and India and comfortable managing in diverse cross-cultural organizations. Completely fluent in English, Hindi and has a some level of Arabic, Farsi and Gujarati. Additionally offers experience in sales, relationship management, risk management, new product development, collections, operations and project management. Can also create and implement new systems & processes. Offers excellent communication ability and the gravitas to effectively motivate and train staff.
I believe that this combination of skills/experience make me a strong contender for the Project Manager role.
I'd be delighted to meet with you to discuss my candidature in detail.
Yours sincerely,
Faisal Akhtar
