Professional Accomplishments Recognized Have been referred to in articles in CIO Magazine (largest selling IT Magazine globally for C level professionals) as Management Consultant with expertise in Outsourcing and working with diverse cultures. Become an expert in working with various cultures. In a recent exchange with Management Consultant Navneet Chandra, of Pedigree Consulting based out of India, we agreed that since most offshore outsourcing is financially driven, buyers are reluctant to invest in building cultural awareness, because they often do not see how this will impact the bottom-line. We also observed that these investments are vital to real long term continued success of these offshore relationships. - As written by Joe Santana, for his article Title Running IT like a Business dated 5th Jan05
