A thought leading, vocal member of the secondary ICT market who spent over 15 years in the IBM world, Tomás understands the issues at play in the rapidly changing software landscape. While building a business that is a leader in the independent support of IBM software, Tomás understands the importance of contracts, entitlements and end-user rights. He has been a consistent advocate for the promotion of choice and a campaigner against the lock-in practices that dominate the software industry. Having cut his teeth with www.Repair.org he went on to found, and is now President of, Free ICT Europe Foundation (www.free-ict-europe.eu)
