Hi, my name is Nicky De Westelinck, and I am a Modern Workplace Consultant from Belgium. I am mainly in charge of carrying out Modern Workplace projects (Microsoft 365 migrations, Microsoft Intune, etc.). Since 2021, I have also been a Microsoft Certified Trainer. This allows me to educate our customers during projects. In my free time, I can always enjoy good food and drinks with my lovely partner and probably tease our two cats.
