Marc is a typical specimen of an “Alpine Geek” (Nerdus Alpinus), having delivered courses in two languages and multiple countries for over 25 years, but living in a three-hundred year old chalet in the Swiss Alps that only got broadband Internet in 2009.

He currently serves the Microsoft Certified Trainer community as the MCT Regional Lead for Switzerland.
