About Member
Miguel A. Rodríguez started his professional career in his native Venezuela with IBM, while in the last year of the Computer Science program at Universidad Central de Venezuela. He continued his career in the US with IBM, American Express, Eastern Airlines, SystemOne (Amadeus), EDS, American Express (again!) and PayCargo.
Along the way, Miguel’s focus changed from the technical arena to leadership roles, and for the last 35+ years held positions from DBA Supervisor to Chief Information Officer.
Currently he owns his own company, MianJa Solutions, has been trained as a Life and Professional Coach, and is a consultant and advisor to PeopleTek. He is passionate about using his skills and experiences to help others become more effective leaders in the business world, and use his own experiences to provide support and guidance on cultural transitions.
He is multilingual (English/Spanish-full fluency, Portuguese-basic, Italian-basic), is married, proud father of four daughters, and grandfather to four little ones. Miguel currently lives at the piedmont of the Blue Ridge mountains in Northern Georgia, and enjoys reading, photography, traveling, and cooking (and eating!).
