Making the Microsoft cloud approachable.
I am Fabio van der Burg: consultant, Microsoft Certified Trainer and community nerd at KPN Partner Network. I take the complicated stuff and make it simple enough that people actually use it, on stage, on stream and in writing.
Four ways I help you get more out of the Microsoft cloud.
Speaking
Keynotes, breakouts and hands on workshops on security, Zero Trust and the modern workplace. In Dutch or English.

Microsoft Certified Trainer with 26 certifications on record, because the platform never sits still.
