Great Team
Hi, my name is Gan Huay Wen and I’m a team manager. I started my career at DHL IT Services back in 2011, when I took a role as Senior Application Support Specialist in the Global Imaging Support team. Gaining more hands-on experience with system integration has always fascinated me, so I moved to the Solution Delivery team. From there, I moved fast through the company ladder and soon landed a Consultant role. In 2016, I moved to a management role, being Manager of Service Support Team. Together with the strong support of a multinational & diverse team, we are working on our common ambition – Microsoft Windows and Microsoft SQL. Looking forward to having you onboard!
