Can you walk us through your career path?
"I graduated with a degree in Accountancy and Taxation, and during my internship, I was introduced to OCR software. I was immediately fascinated by how technology could drive process optimization. Soon after, I started working as a functional consultant for Microsoft Dynamics AX. Over time, through various projects, training sessions, and hands-on experience, I advanced to become an expert in Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain. Along the way, I also became the main point of contact between Cegeka and Microsoft for finance-related topics."
What made you decide to take on the role of expert?
"To be honest, it happened quite organically. By constantly exploring new features and sharing my knowledge during projects, I naturally grew into the role. It’s something I still find fascinating. Microsoft is always innovating. By staying up to date and taking initiative, you naturally become someone others turn to."
What are the biggest challenges in your role, and how do you deal with them?
"You often deal with complex projects involving multiple stakeholders, while also needing to stay current with new releases, features, and evolving client expectations. On top of that, there are ad-hoc questions from colleagues and tasks related to presales. For me, that variety is actually energizing. It keeps things interesting and offers constant learning opportunities. Traveling and working on-site can also be part of the job, but I see that as a valuable and enriching experience."
