Our People Make the Difference

Norm Owens, Cloud Strategy Architect and Client Architect, Long Beach, California

How long have you worked for Unisys? Almost 10 years.

What is your favorite part about your job? I really enjoy having the opportunity to be able to keep up with new public cloud service offerings and staying ahead of the disruption wave.

What do you wish other people knew about Unisys? That there is equal opportunity for people in all roles to contribute. Architects have a great opportunity to bring new ideas to a deal and champion a technology before it is widely known in the market.

Beyond spending time with your family, what else do you enjoy doing when not at work? Well, this year I’m very busy being “too geeky” about collecting cloud certifications. So, at this point, I study a lot.

Do you have an unusual hobby or pastime? I cook. Not many people know that I funded my college education as a professional sous-chef at a U.S. restaurant that was highly rated in France.

If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? Marcel Proust – one of the most influential authors in the 20th century. I would very much like to hear about his process and his experiences in France.
