Speaking

About me

From NIC 2022, photo credit: Sandy Zeng.

I am a Microsoft MVP in Microsoft 365 and Security (SIEM & XDR), Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), and Cloud & Security Architect based in Denmark.

I have been presenting at conferences, user groups, community events, customer events, and technical workshops for more than 25 years.

My sessions are built around real-world customer projects, lessons learned, best practices, and practical guidance that attendees can apply immediately in their own environments. I deliver sessions covering Microsoft 365, Security, Identity, Compliance, Copilot, and migration technologies.

I regularly speak both online and in person at conferences, user groups, community events, and customer engagements around the world.

While I am based in Denmark, I regularly present at international events and am available for both remote and on-site engagements.

If you are interested in having me speak at your conference, user group, community event, webinar, or customer event, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Why I Speak

I strongly believe in sharing knowledge and helping others avoid challenges that I’ve already experienced in the field.

Most of my sessions are built around real-world customer projects, lessons learned, best practices, and practical guidance that attendees can immediately apply in their own environments.

The Microsoft community has contributed significantly to my own professional journey, and speaking is one of the ways I try to give back.
