Operations Department Coordinator (Replacement)
Recommendations
Recommendations for Wilco|closed
"Joomla has benefitted massively from Wilco's knowledge and experience already in the Operations Deparmtent, but especially from the structure, procedures and policies that he has put into place within the Webmasters Team. I've worked with him on a number of projects for various teams - his quick thinking, no-nonsense approach, and attention to detail make it so easy to work with him. He has also attracted many new sponsors to Joomla, and is always looking for ways to improve things. He is already great asset to OSM and Joomla, I look forward to seeing what he will bring to the Board and Operations Department." - Jaz Parkyn
"During the past months I had the opportunity to work closely with Wilco on several aspects of the Joomla ongoing operations. He has been able to massively reorganize administrative processes and tools, simplify workflows, bring onboard new partnerships and reduce operational costs of the organization. I bet he'll do much more having the opportunity to serve the Board of Directors as the DC for the Operations Department. - Luca Marzo
