My name is Tjerk Bijlsma - or TJ to keep things simple and pronounceable - and I'm a Solution Architect at Cisco based in Amsterdam. I joined the European Data Center and Virtualization team in March 2009 when we launched the Cisco UCS product.

In 2007 I joined the Emerging Markets team as the lead solution architect for the Financial Services sector with a focus on the strategic finance account in Emerging Markets.
