Robert Beumer M.Sc

Robert Beumer - Professional Summary:

Since 1987 I have been professionally involved in the IT industry. At first, while doing a BSc in Business Economics, I was part time working on the maintenance of Mainframe Systems.
Since 1995 I built continuous, comprehensive SAP project experience, starting consulting for Deloitte & Touche/ICS in the United States (Mid West region).
In 1997 I moved my home base to Spain and started working freelance in Europe. I have performed all of the following functions during my career: project manager, team leader, technical analyst, designer, configurer, migrater, programmer, tester and trainer. I am truly a pragmatic team player with excellent technical, communication and leadership skills.
I am fluent in Dutch, Spanish, German and English and have a good knowledge of French.
