Great Team
Hi, my name is Vladimir Grul and I'm a team manager. I started my career at DHL IT Services back in 2004, when I took a role as Application Support Specialist in the Shared Data Services team. Gaining more hands-on experience with application support has always fascinated me, so I moved to the System Integration support team. From there, I moved fast through the company ladder and soon landed an ESB Support team lead role. In 2023, I moved to a management role, being ES SI Platform ESB sub-domain manager. Together with the strong support of a multinational & diverse team, we are working on our common ambition - Enterprise Service Bus. Looking forward to having you onboard!
