Paul Broadwith

Paul Broadwith

Paul is an Engineer at heart, with a love of PowerShell, Automation, Chocolatey, Scottish single malt whisky and wireless earphones. He has given workshops and spoken at many events across the UK, Europe and the US. He has a real passion for passing on knowledge and loves to talk with aspiring techies.

He is an MVP in Cloud and Datacenter for his work in PowerShell, a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), Lead Engineer on the Boxstarter and DSC cChoco Chocolatey projects and is an organiser of the DATA:Scotland event. His career has seen him work in many sectors for over 30 years. As somebody kindly put it, he's been about a bit.

In his spare time, he usually continues to stare at computer screens and works on his own or Chocolatey projects. But on those rare occasions, when he is not staring at computer screens and listening to a strange mix of music on his wireless earphones, you can find him relaxing with a nice single malt whisky and reading ... usually ancient, medieval or military history books.

Katja Jokisalo

I'm an enthusiastic technical consultant, speaker, and trainer helping organizations create a better working life and improve their business with Microsoft 365. I'm a Microsoft MVP (M365 Apps & Services) and Certified Trainer.

I started my career with SharePoint 16 years ago, and nowadays work with a wide range of modern communication and collaboration projects - intranets, Copilot, Viva modules, document management systems and enterprise search solutions.

I really enjoy finding ways to make things run smoother - my main goal is to make the life more productive _and_ fun! In the evenings you're most likely to find me hanging on the wall (aka bouldering) or having my nose buried in a book.

Microsoft MVPs

Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are recognized experts in their respective technical communities who actively share their knowledge and expertise with others. The MVP award is given to individuals who have made significant contributions to the Microsoft community through their involvement in technical forums, user groups, conferences, and other events. As a result, many MVPs are sought after as speakers at industry events, sharing their knowledge and insights with others.

When an MVP adds their award to their speaker profile, it can serve as a powerful endorsement of their expertise and credibility. Event organizers and attendees alike recognize the MVP award as a symbol of excellence in the field of Microsoft technology, and are more likely to view MVP speakers as authorities on the subject matter they are presenting. This can help MVPs secure speaking engagements, as well as increase their visibility and recognition within the community.

In addition to the benefits for the MVPs themselves, including the ability to network with other experts and gain exposure for their work, the community as a whole can benefit from the contributions of MVP speakers. By sharing their knowledge and insights with others, MVPs help to elevate the level of expertise and understanding within the Microsoft community, ultimately leading to better products and services for everyone.
