Trabajo en la intersección entre tecnología, comunicación y adopción, ayudando a traducir la IA generativa y Microsoft Copilot en valor real para personas y organizaciones.

Actualmente soy Microsoft MVP en M365 Copilot y trabajo impulsando conversaciones, estrategias y casos de uso alrededor de Copilot, agentes e IA aplicada al entorno empresarial.

Mi trayectoria está ligada al mundo de la Comunicación, las Relaciones Públicas y la marca personal, y eso define también mi forma de compartir tecnología: cercana, clara, útil y aterrizada a negocio, sin perder rigor ✨

Me apasiona ayudar a equipos y organizaciones a entender cómo la IA puede transformar la productividad, la colaboración y la forma en la que trabajamos, conectando innovación con impacto real.

También me gusta aportar una perspectiva humana en conversaciones tecnológicas y dar a todo lo que hago una identidad muy mía: flores, mariposas y un poquito de brilli-brilli 💜

Porque creo que se puede hablar de innovación, productividad y futuro con seriedad, pero también con sensibilidad, creatividad y estilo propio 🦋

Participo activamente en comunidades técnicas de Microsoft como speaker, colaboradora y organizadora, y disfruto especialmente creando sesiones que conectan novedad, storytelling y casos reales para hacer la tecnología más comprensible, memorable y humana 🚀

I am a certified Microsoft Azure consultant from Belgium, who assists independent software vendors by leveraging Microsoft Azure and open source technologies.

Born and raised in East-Flanders, I started my journey into information technology at the age of six when my family bought a desktop computer that was powerful enough to run Windows 3.11. In the past, I have been a factory worker, a casual programmer and a Microsoft .NET consultant.

With my colleagues, I frequently produce presentations and workshops on the topic of DevSecOps. More recently I have discussed the workings of Windows Containers and how it fits into the container ecosystem. Along with Microsoft MVP Micha Wets, I was asked to talk about Kubernetes in a Microsoft world at the Microsoft Headquarters in Germany and about Azure Governance at CloudBrew in Belgium.

In May 2020, I was awarded the Azure Content Hero award by Microsoft for having created original content, sample code or learning resources and documented and shared experiences and lessons to help others to build on the Azure cloud platform.

Two years later, in 2022, I was honoured to receive the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award in the Microsoft Azure category.

Benni is a Principal Program Manager in the Fabric Customer Advisory Team (Fabric CAT) at Microsoft. Aspiring to be top notch in his field, through continuous personal development, on both technical and soft skills. He strives for maximum results in his tasks using team play, communication, thinking outside of the box, and (endless) motivation. Benni is always ready to tackle the unknown, or pick up fresh ideas to broaden his range. Building on past experiences, he continuously tries to find new, more efficient ways of obtaining results, and improving the process along the way.

Loving (almost) every day of it, he’s fascinated by the value of data, sometimes flabbergasted by the lack of awareness, and intrigued by the endless possibilities whilst discovering new ways of looking at data. He thrives on unfolding new insights for customers whilst using an open and transparent communication.

On a daily basis he turns (large amounts of) coffee into insights for customers, and references witty British comedy, lame dad jokes, and obscure facts way too often. Overly enthusiastic about anything data related, he’s trying hard to keep up with all things new and shiny.

When not working, blogging or reading, you’ll likely find him out and about being his weird self. Rumour has it that he’s also involved with a ragtag band of data enthusiasts, enjoying themselves whilst organising cool community things.
They go by the name of .. dataMinds!
