About Me
I am Raymundo Hooten, senior program and project manager specialized in IT infrastructure. In more than 21 years, I have worked on business-critical migrations, transitions and lifecycle programs at international corporates and government organizations.
My approach is pragmatic and result-oriented. I start with clear scope and agreements, and end with structured handover so the organization can continue independently. Along the way, I maintain control over progress, budget and quality.
I have migrated 1,000+ TB of critical data under full changefreeze, managed annual program budgets of €2M and led global infrastructure projects. Always on time, within budget, without surprises.
