About

As a Microsoft 365 Modern Workplace consultant I help customers implement modern workplace solutions based on top of their Microsoft 365 licensing, leveraging products like Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Defender, Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Purview. I constantly build solutions which span these products, taking into account Security, Usability and Manageability as main pillars. Currently I'm also responsible for the delivery of Secure At Work, a product which can automatically provision Microsoft 365 tenants with best practices configuration and once onboarded keeps customers up to date by using regular releases. Each release adds or updates functionality in Microsoft 365 environments based on best practices and lessons learned from implementation feedback. The Secure At Work solution is already running om more than 10K endpoints, making it proven solution and able to cover 80% of business requirements. With more than 25 years of experience in IT, I managed to get myself Microsoft certified in 1998, eventually becoming a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), en ultimately receiving my first Microsoft MVP award in 2010. Currently I am a proud dual Microsoft MVP for Microsoft Intune and Identity and Access. In the past I have worked with many products in the Microsoft infrastructure space, like SMS/System Center Configuration Manager, Active Directory, Virtualization (both VMware as Hyper-V), System Center products like SCOM, SCSM, SCVMM, SCDPM among others.
