Donald Hessing is Lead Microsoft Architect for Capgemini Netherlands and Programme Chair for the European SharePoint, O365 and Azure Conference (2017, 2018, 2019). With a strong developer background in ASP.NET and SQL Server, he changed his career in 2007 from .NET / SOA to SharePoint. Back in 2009 he became one of the first Certified Masters for SharePoint (MCM).

In 2017 Donald switched back to his initial love and is now in his daily job lead architect on the Azure platform. He is passionate about Azure and Office 365, but likes to solve real world problems, instead of always using the hammer. He likes to share his knowledge and findings in the community and has been a frequently asked speaker or instructor at major conferences.
