From the author, about the author
My name is Marco Mels, and I created this WordPress site for personal use. Many things I’ve gathered over time are stored somewhere for later use—OneDrive, locally on a PC, or in a notebook. A lot of it ends up in the big round archive or is never worked on further.
About the author’s career
Right after finishing the HEAO (Higher Economic and Administrative Education), I started working at Microsoft. I held various roles, such as Exchange Support Specialist from 1998 to 2004, where I provided support for Microsoft’s enterprise customers in the EMEA region, helping them implement, maintain, and resolve critical issues in their Exchange Server environment. From 2004 to 2006, I served as the Technical Lead for the Exchange Server vendor team. In 2006, I joined the Dynamics NAV team as a support specialist, and in 2009, I became a Senior Technical Support Escalation Engineer within that team. I continued in that role until 2023. In 2023, I began working as a Senior Technical Consultant for the partner GAC Business Solutions in Oirschot. More information can be found on my LinkedIn profile.
In addition to my work at Microsoft and GAC Business Solutions, I was also involved with the Coöperatie Meer Riethoven for several years, where I held an executive position. Together with other dedicated board members, I worked to represent the interests of Riethoven and improve its livability. I no longer serve in this capacity.
Hobbies and Free Time
In addition to my professional and managerial commitments, I have several hobbies that enrich my life. One of my passions is playing the guitar. Music is a creative outlet for me and offers relaxation after a busy workday. I am also active as a volleyball player, where I enjoy teamwork, competition, and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Ik ben geboren in Hoogvliet, opgegroeid in Spijkenisse en tot slot heb ik mijn studententijd doorgebracht in Rotterdam. Na een aantal jaren ben ik verhuisd naar Maarssen om uiteindelijk in Riethoven te belanden. Daar woon ik nog steeds met mijn vriendin Marga en onze twee kinderen Kevin en Nessa.
