Virena Sam

Information technology professional (for 26 years), specialized in database management in large infrastructures. Strong database expertise gained through the use of MS SQL, DB2 and ORACLE across multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux/unix and Z/OS.

For several years, I have also been a property manager for a family business (22 doors). I deal with the day-to-day operations of buildings and the well-being of tenants.

Through my experience in IT and property management, I have developed a strong ability to work with people and provide prompt, courteous and professional service. I have a lot of patience with clients and I am able to listen well to them and advisors as needed. I am constantly looking to improve my customer service.

Over the years, I have developed a great sense of organization and prioritization of the tasks to be performed. I can adapt to different situations, and I try to be always effective and attentive in the accomplishment of my tasks.
