Meet Alex Contant - Our GSS Red Hatter of the Week

This week's featured Red Hatter is TAM Alex Contant.

In his own words:

"Bonjour, my name is Alex Contant and I am from Montreal, Quebec. Before joining Red Hat, I had my own consulting business for several years during which I was given some great opportunities to work on many diverse, big-scale projects. Overall, I have spent nearly 15 years as a UNIX/Linux sysadmin.

I joined Red Hat a year ago as a Technical Account Manager (TAM). A TAM acts as the customer advocate within Red Hat meaning that I bring my customers needs within our organization and get back to them with solutions/options. As a TAM, I also manage & maintain customers case documentation while also providing advice and guidance on their current and future Red hat products.

What I like most about my job is that I get to know my customers very well and can proactively help them whenever possible. The Red Hat culture is awesome and you quickly learn that teamwork is a very important piece in our success. Working with passionate people at Red Hat just makes the days fly by!

Outside of work I enjoy cooking (French, Thai, Indian, etc.) and I try to take classes with a chef once a year. I am also an avid hockey fan."

Stay tuned for more from Alex throughout the week.
