After nearly 13 years at LANexpert, a Value Added Reseller and Integrator in the french speaking area of Switzerland, I’ll be starting a new chapter of my professional career. I’ll be joining VMware as a Solutions Architect on the 1st of October.

Over the better part of the last decade, I have played my part in building the Virtualization practice for LANexpert, into one of the first VMware Premier Partner in Switzerland. During this past decade, I have seen and pushed the changes in IT infrastructure from standalone server, to nearly full virtualized datacenter (not the network yet). Now I have the great opportunity to join the ‘mothership’ and keep pushing a technology that I trust and truly believe in.

I’m excited with the new challenge and the opportunity to meet a lot more new people as driven as me by virtualization, and sad to leave a great ‘family’ as LANexpert behind me. I also want to thanks all the people around me in the community, that have helped me directly or indirectly to grow and extend my technical expertise.
