Hey, I’m Maureen — a passionate IT security professional at team neusta, a large digital agency based in northern Germany.
I work at the intersection of operational security and governance: shaping security assets like policies, risk methodologies, and incident response plans, driving their implementation, and supporting ISO-aligned structures — always paired with practical awareness and enablement.

I am convinced that you can only protect yourself from what you truly understand. And that often means facing uncomfortable truths. And yes, it will be uncomfortable. But I also believe that this is exactly where real confidence begins.

In my talks, I like to make security accessible. Whether it’s IT professionals dealing with real challenges in their daily work or people trying to improve their everyday digital life. My goal is to help them build that confidence. Because in the end, security doesn’t just start with tools. It starts in our minds — shaping our habits, and ultimately, our decisions.

I describe myself as a talent matchmaker, a recruiting futurist, or a bridge‑builder between people and technology.

My motto: “Hire with heart, decide with data.” sums up my approach perfectly.

For over a decade, I’ve been shaping recruiting and talent strategy in (IT) environments—across regions, teams, and stakeholder groups, and almost always with a tangible impact on the organization. My focus is not the tool stack for its own sake. Instead, I’m devoted to the processes and the people behind the processes.

My aim is to build and empower hiring communities, think digital transformation from a people‑first perspective, and I love exploring one essential question: How do we want to live and work in the future—and what must recruiting contribute so that technology and AI create real value?

I also actively champion Women in Tech—spotlighting role models, mentoring emerging talent, and creating visibility for women’s contributions so that more diverse voices shape the future of our industry.

Today, I also work as a coach, mentor, and sparring partner—sharing practical playbooks on Talent Intelligence, modern employer branding, and candidate‑centric hiring. And I aim to show—by doing—that a clear stance and a good dose of courage are necessary to break with outdated hiring myths and ways of thinking.

Hi, I’m Liza
I’ve been working with SharePoint for almost 20 years, back when it was… let’s say less glamorous — and I’ve been helping organisations untangle it ever since.

I run the Simply SharePoint blog and podcast, where I break down modern work, information architecture, and Microsoft 365 in a way that actually makes sense to humans (not just architects and admins). I’m best known for helping organisations “fix the mess” — turning chaotic sites, bloated Teams, and mystery permissions into calm, usable, and Copilot-ready environments.

My favourite topics sit right at the intersection of modern work, governance that doesn’t suck, and AI readiness. I’m particularly passionate about helping organisations understand that Copilot isn’t magic — it reflects the structure, ownership, and content decisions you’ve already made (for better or worse).

I don’t teach feature lists or perfect-world demos. I talk about what really happens in organisations — and how to design SharePoint and modern work environments that survive real behaviour, scale safely, and don’t fall apart the moment Copilot is switched on.
