Vik Dutta IT Manager

Why PR?

Vik Dutta: IT Manager, BlissPR-B2B Public Relations and B2B Marketing Services

Honestly I think the question should be why BlissPR.

I heard a lot of great things about the company and wanted to work for them and contribute my expertise in the area of technology. At the same time I hope to learn a little about the PR business.

Areas of Expertise and Interest

My areas of expertise include various phases of technology such as desktop, server, network and telecom support.

What I Did Before BlissPR

Before joining BlissPR I started my IT career in 1997 as a level 1 Help Desk support consultant for Chubb Computer Services and Buck Consultants. Then I joined SBC Warburg Dillon Read as a consultant for Perot Systems, where I provided level 1 and 2 desktop support. After my consulting assignment with SBC ended, I started working for AT&T where I provided level 2 help desk support for over a year. In September 1999, I started working for TechSpace, a small start-up company in Union Square, NY. This is where I got most of my hands-on experience with everything to do with technology from the back end support to the front end where I provided desktop and telecom support. I worked at TechSpace for over seven years before joining BlissPR in December 2006.

What I Do for Fun

For fun I like to fish, take long cross-country drives, cook and hike.
