Microsoft Most Valuable Professional

Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals, or MVPs, are technology experts who passionately share their knowledge with the community.

The Microsoft MVP Award recognizes individual experts, for their amazing community contributions to the community around Microsoft technologies. MVP Award is an annual award given to roughly 4,000 recipients each year spanning 90 countries around the world.

I have been awarded the Microsoft MVP since 2014, Windows Insider MVP since 2019 and have been a frequent speaker at various local seminars, and events like Cloud Technology Townhall Tallinn (CTTT), Scottish Summit, TechDays Sweden, Nordic Infrastructure Conference (NIC) and Microsoft Ignite.

Being an IT professional means that you should transform technology found in the daily lives of those who work in business.

Delivering state-of-the-art hardware together with the purest version of Windows out-of-the-box is an unbeatable combination that let you and your business focus on what matters most to you.

During my time as a technology adviser for my former employer, the municipality of Askøy in Norway, a part of my job was to ensure that the municipal employees and citizens got the best experience of the technology available.
