Yannick Reekmans

Yannick Reekmans

Yannick (a Microsoft 365 & Business Applications MVP) was born and raised in SharePoint, starting his career in 2011 when SharePoint 2010 was still new and shiny. The changing reality of the cloud made him expand his knowledge to the whole of Microsoft 365, Azure, and Power Platform. He is a Managing Partner and Cloud Solution Architect at Qubix, a Belgium-based consultancy firm, responsible for the technical underpinnings of products and solutions. Problem-solving and development are his passions, and he is still working day-to-day with code. He always asks the important questions: How does it work? What do you want to achieve? Does it have an API? Do we really need development for this? Where's the coffee?

Karibu! I'm the person you call when Business Central needs to do something clever — and lately, when it needs to do something with AI.
Microsoft MVP and Certified Trainer, based in Nairobi. For [7] years I've built BC solutions for banks, SMEs, governments and NGOs across Central, East and Southern Africa — including the messy, real-world parts like M-Pesa integration that the global docs never cover. As a trainer, I also empower Business Central partners across East Africa and beyond to build with the same confidence.

I nearly gave up on AL when I started, so I built the channel I wish I'd had: youtube.com/@TekNaMsangi — a zero-to-hero series that takes you from your first table to shipping real extensions and Copilot agents. Come to my session and you'll leave able to do the thing, not just nod along to it. Pamoja.

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.
