Digital Technologies have always been my passion. I strive to find solutions that help people do their work in a smarter and more efficient way. I spent most of my 20-year long IT career within the Microsoft product sphere. Today, my focus areas are Azure, Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 Finance and Operation. However, there is room for me to explore other areas as well. I have in fact recently created some nifty solutions using the Power Platform, more specifically Power Automate. A continuous learning approach is what characterizes me best. |
I am focused on helping Retail and Manufacturing customers achieve their goals. I am located in Sweden and have been with Microsoft for three years, working closely with customers in the region to develop and implement data-driven solutions. Prior to joining Microsoft, I worked for a global IT security company where I advised customers on developing and implementing security solutions that protected their data and infrastructure. |
