Awarded the Microsoft MVP in Office Development - 2021/2022

The doorbell rang and someone from my family opened it. I knew the postman was supposed to deliver something special for me on that day but I wasn't sure whether he/she was at the door. I started thinking, "Maybe it is a friendly neighbor or a postman who isn't delivering the package I’ve been waiting for." Although I was keen to go and see what was going on, I couldn't because I was in the middle of a meeting.

Finally, the meeting was over; and I walked downstairs like a kid in a candy shop. The package was for me and the sender was Microsoft. Together with my family I opened the package and a beautiful “THANK YOU” appeared. The MVP award for 2021-2022 has just arrived!

I’m delighted to receive the MVP award also this year. 2020 was definitely exceptional and I hope the near future will allow us more and more to get back to what we used to call normal 😊 I’m also looking forward to meeting the community in person at events again. This is something I miss most about our awesome community!

This blog post represents an opportunity for me to say thank you to people who keep inspiring and motivating me:
