Always on the road — in search of inspiration, good food, and the next interesting conversation.

I'm a Microsoft MVP and consultant with over 8 years of experience in Dynamics 365 and Customer Experience.
My sweet spot is Dynamics 365 Customer Insights and Dynamics 365 Sales, but I'm equally at home talking about AI, Copilot, and where it's all heading. I'm driven by curiosity, about technology, about people, and about the spaces in between.
That curiosity also shapes the sessions I love to give. Alongside deep-dives into Microsoft tech, I design talks on mindset and methods: from building a Second Brain to applying Street Epistemology, the Socratic questioning practice, in everyday professional life.

When I'm not on stage or on a client project, you'll find me somewhere in the world with a knitting project in my bag, great company around the table, and probably too many browser tabs open.
