Jeroen Bijdevier

Jeroen Bijdevier

I'm a Security Architect at AVK Training & Coaching in the Netherlands. I specialize in the intersection of security, compliance and data. I help organizations get their information under control with Microsoft Purview and SharePoint, so they can adopt Microsoft 365 Copilot and agents safely.

I believe compliance is driven by the business, not by IT. That's why I keep the human side central: governance only works if it fits the way people work.

I share what I learn in the field. I co-organize the Dutch Data Security & Compliance Community (DDSCC) and co-host its podcast, and together with Willem Jonkers I write a free Dutch blog and vlog series on Microsoft 365 governance (30+ posts). I've spoken at DIWUG, DDSCC and CollabDays Bletchley Park.

Expect practical sessions: real settings, real pitfalls, no sales pitch.

Carsten Marmulla

On paper, risk management is a clean matrix of probabilities and impacts. In reality, it is a series of impossible decisions made under maximum uncertainty. Carsten Marmulla has spent decades navigating this reality, combining academic rigor with pragmatism learned from the "school of hard knocks".

As a Senior Trusted Advisor and the founder of the cybersecurity consulting boutique carmasec, he translates cyber resilience from a technical challenge into an executive survival strategy.

Through his roles as a vCISO, IT security manager, and strategic advisor for large enterprises, Carsten has guided numerous organizations through complex digital transformations and risk mitigation programs.

He challenges the dangerous illusion that green dashboards and standard certifications equal true security. Instead, he uses his trademark "plain talk" (Klartext) to bridge the communication gap between technical teams and the C-suite.

Beyond his consulting work, Carsten actively mentors cybersecurity startups, shaping the future of the industry.

On stage, he combines the hard-won insights of an entrepreneur with the strategic depth of a management consultant, giving decision-makers the tools they need to build truly resilient organizations.

I've spent 15+ years making sure large-scale engineering systems don't fall apart — and when they do, they recover fast.

From Tier 3 college-> Microsoft -> IIM-Indore Alumni -> Levi's (Strong culture + 175 years old + AI First company). I've led Product development, platform engineering, SRE, data, and AI teams across some of the most complex enterprise environments in the world.

A few things I'm proud of:
🏗️ Built and scaled systems operating at 2B+ signals/day with 99.99% reliability

📊 Delivered $370M+ business impact through BI platforms and data-driven engineering

⚙️ Led 10,000+ releases/year across 100+ products at Autodesk

🤖 Driving agentic AI and LLM automation for next-gen platform and SRE operations

What drives me is a simple belief:
👉 The best engineering teams don't just solve today's problems — they build systems that make tomorrow's problems smaller.

My work spans:
Platform Engineering • SRE • Data Engineering (Kafka, Spark, Snowflake) • BI & Data Modelling • Agentic AI & LLM Automation • Cloud Architecture • MLOps • DevOps (K8s, Terraform, Ansible, Docker)

I lead with a people-first philosophy — empowering teams across geographies and time zones, converting ambiguous problems into scalable solutions, and building cultures where engineers grow as fast as the systems they build.
On LinkedIn I share:

Real lessons from leading platform, data, and SRE teams at enterprise scale

Practical AI + engineering — not theory, actual implementation

Honest takes on engineering leadership, team building, and career growth in the AI era
