Great Team
My name is Charles, and I serve as Head of Department for P&P CTS Operations at DHL IT Services in Prague.
I began my career with DHL in 2000 as a Unix Systems Administrator in the GBS Operations team in London. Early in my journey, I developed a strong interest in application support and infrastructure engineering, which led me to new opportunities within the Shared Services & Application Support areas.
The experience gained helped shape my subsequent path through a range of leadership roles across the organization and set the foundation for my continued growth as a leader.
Today, together with strong, diverse, and multinational teams, we are united by a shared commitment to service excellence, innovation, and collaboration, supporting several critical applications across the Group.
Looking forward to having you onboard!
