EMPLOYMENT

 

Senior Principal Consultant - Technology Business Unit
12/04 - Present
Oracle, USA
Redwood Shores, CA 94065

After the acquisition, I landed in the best group at Oracle.  We are an independent organization that supports development, sales and consulting.  The work is very strategic, with just enough hands on experience to make things interesting.  We keep a pulse on market trends, and see where Oracle fits and where we need work.  We will then either work with development to build, or maybe just build out the gaps ourselves.  We will then work with Sales to build the pitch, campaigns, marketing, etc.  We also work with Consulting to help implement the solutions.  Recently, because of the market trending towards consolidation; a lot of our work has been in the integration arena.
