Wim Verhaege

Living and studying in both Belgium and Germany and working more than a decade for a French speaking company, I speak all Belgian languages fluently. During my studies, I showed my first entrepreneurship and organizational talent by becoming a board member in sport clubs at the age of 19, organizing sport camps, trainings and tournaments, giving sport training since 20 years, training and coaching both children and adults of all ages. It made me realize making people better in what they do, gives me great satisfaction.

My knowledge and interests are mainly in sports, financials & administration, organization, internal and quality control. With over 5 years of experience in sales as a trader, selling around 7000 000 EUR per year and nearly 10 years in finance, BI and quality control such as internal auditing, in the transport, trading and pharmaceutical industry, I became highly skilled in Microsoft Excel.

Since 2022, I own my own company EXsport and provide Excel & Power BI traineeships & workshops, enabling higher and better results in both sales and finance. My main focus is always on improving efficiency and avoid wasting time, working in a very analytical way and putting a strong structure and organization in place.

Since 2024, I am Microsoft Certified Power BI Data Analyst. I provide traineeships and assist companies in their data analysis with this fantastic tool.

I appreciate a transparent and honest reality, no fake positivism or negativism. My key values are structure, organization, honesty, strong leadership, respect and duty.

People describe me as a family man with a competitive state of mind. I spend most of my free time with my family and practising different sport disciplines, such as Martial arts (Ju-Jitsu), badminton, sailing, jogging and swimming. When any spare time left, I do volunteer work, mainly in sport clubs.

Priya Vardhini

Hi, I’m Priya Vardhini Mohan, a passionate and results-driven System Architect with over 14 years of experience in the Modern Workplace space, specializing in Microsoft 365, Azure, and Microsoft Copilot. I’ve had the privilege of working with enterprise clients across EMEA and APAC, helping them transform their digital workplaces with cutting-edge cloud and AI solutions.

My journey has taken me through a variety of roles—from technical consulting and pre-sales to leading complex cloud migrations and enabling Copilot across environments like Teams, Power BI, SharePoint, and Outlook. I’ve been deeply involved in the early phases of Copilot pilot programs, designing custom copilots, integrating them with Azure OpenAI, and driving adoption through training, governance, and secure implementation.

I’m currently based in London, working with iSquare Tech Solutions, where I focus on building scalable, secure, and intelligent solutions for clients navigating their M365 and Copilot journey. Whether it's Exchange migrations, Intune policy design, Defender configurations, or Power Platform automation, I enjoy working closely with stakeholders to architect solutions that not only work—but elevate user productivity and security.

My certifications include Microsoft Copilot Expert, Security Ninja Training, MS-900, AZ-900, and SC-900, among others. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with incredible organizations like AirAsia, TRX Malaysia, and several educational institutions across Singapore and Malaysia, delivering value through digital transformation initiatives.

Beyond the tech, I love sharing knowledge—whether through live demos, training sessions, or writing on my Medium blog. I'm always open to conversations around AI, productivity, security, and how we can create meaningful impact with technology.

Charutha Bandara

Charutha Bandara

Charutha Bandara has built his professional journey through steady effort, careful thinking, and a strong sense of responsibility. Over more than a decade, he developed his career by working directly with real systems and real challenges, allowing experience to shape his decisions. His progress reflects patience and consistency, with growth emerging from hands-on work rather than shortcuts. This approach has guided his movement from technical roles into leadership and entrepreneurial responsibilities.

In the early part of his career, Charutha demonstrated a strong interest in understanding how complex systems operate in practical settings. Software engineering became the foundation for this interest, offering a structured way to approach real-world problems. Charutha D. Bandara worked across different technical environments, learning how to adapt while maintaining reliability and clarity. These early experiences helped him develop discipline, attention to detail, and an appreciation for clear communication when working with others.

As his experience grew, he began taking on responsibilities beyond direct development tasks. Bandara contributed to planning, system design, and long-term decision-making, which required a broader perspective. This shift encouraged him to think about sustainability, usability, and long-term impact rather than only immediate results. Balancing technical execution with thoughtful planning became a key part of his professional growth.

Over time, he moved into senior and executive-level roles, leading teams and managing priorities. These positions required steady judgment, accountability, and the ability to make clear decisions under pressure. His leadership style remained grounded in firsthand technical experience, helping him stay realistic and approachable. He emphasized preparation, consistency, and follow-through, building trust through actions rather than authority.

After many years in technology-focused roles, Charutha reached a point where he could pursue work more closely aligned with his personal interests. Motorcycles had long been an essential part of his life, offering balance outside professional responsibilities. Riding and maintaining performance machines reinforced values he already practiced in his work, including precision, patience, and respect for tools and process.

This personal interest eventually intersected with his professional background. Bandara recognized the importance of careful motorcycle transportation and applied his technical and operational mindset to help shape a service built around responsibility and experience. Systems were thoughtfully designed, and service standards reflected an understanding of what riders value when they trust others with their machines. Growth followed through reliability and consistency rather than speed.

Outside of professional work, Charutha D. Bandara maintains a creative interest in photography, focusing mainly on landscapes and automotive subjects. This outlet supports observation and balance, complementing his technical discipline. Across engineering, leadership, entrepreneurship, and creative pursuits, Charutha Bandara continues to focus on steady improvement, clear thinking, and work shaped by experience, care, and long-term commitment.
