Wendy Y Z Wu, Center Manager, Information System Development Center
Zhuhai, China

I have been working in IT for nearly 30 years, with a career spanning several industries like defense, customs, shipping and IT companies.  I was a CEO of an IT company before joining OOCL.  The defense industry taught me systems engineering theory and method and I also mastered software engineering there.  Working in customs and shipping taught me the import/export business and process.  While running IT companies, I mastered their operations, IT product planning, design and sales.  I wanted to contribute my experiences to OOCL IT.

I joined OOCL in 2007, leading the Podium application development team for the International Logistics Customer Services System (ICS) and Domestic Logistics Customer Services System (DCS).  I led this team for 3 years, overseeing Podium Domestic’s successful rollout in 2009.  We currently focus on migrating our ICS and DCS systems to a new framework so that the systems can provide new features and products to users and the market.

Other than project management, I have organized the implementation of our Fresh Graduate training program at our Information System Development Center in Zhuhai (ISDC ZHA) since 2010.  I am also coordinating a rotation program which focuses on rotating outstanding staff through 3-5 positions.  Both programs are running smoothly and we get a lot of positive feedback from participants.

In April 2011, I was appointed center manager for ISDC ZHA.  With this new challenge, I will focus more on the company's IT strategy and I will work on improving and developing the capabilities of the center.  I will lead ISDC ZHA to a new level!
