My name is Marcus Johnson and I am a multi-talented and experienced project manager. I have 10 years of experience in IT infrastructure, as well as experience with such companies as Nokia, AT&T, British Telecom, and Microsoft. I am currently working, but considering new opportunities. My last few projects have been to implement a national network of digital signage, to implement a company wide VoIP system, and upgrading all desktop PCs in a company wide PC Refresh project, although I also manage development projects, and have extensive knowledge of phone systems and wireless. I am considering both contract and perm opportunities, and I am willing to relocate. I am a US Citizen.
My resume is below, contact me and I can send a copy in Word format. Thank you very much for your consideration!
