11th MVP Award Rewarded

on

I am actually on vacation, but as I sit here under the summer sun, toes in the pool and a cold drink within reach, I have been waiting for that email confirming that I’ve been awarded my 11th Microsoft MVP Award! As last year, I am being awarded in both the Teams and Copilot category.

To say I’m humbled would be an understatement. Being part of the global Microsoft MVP community for over a decade now has been an incredible journey, filled with learning, sharing, speaking, and connecting with passionate technologists from every corner of the world.

What is the Microsoft MVP Award?

The Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award is given to technology experts who share their knowledge and real-world expertise with communities. With fewer than 4,000 MVPs worldwide, it’s an honor to be part of such a vibrant and dedicated group. MVPs contribute through speaking engagements, writing, open-source contributions, and helping others online and offline. You can learn more about the program here.


Thank You

This recognition wouldn’t be possible without the people and organizations who support and inspire me every day.


  • Thank you to the PG (Product Groups) teams at Microsoft for welcoming feedback, opening doors to collaboration, and always pushing the envelope with innovation.
  • Thank you to my employer, Innofactor, for making it possible for me to invest time in community work, tech talks, and content creation, and for truly living the values of sharing and growth.

From late-night Teams messages to on-stage presentations and coffee-fueled blog writing sessions, this journey continues to energize and challenge me.

Looking ahead: MVP-Dagen this fall

I’m especially excited about hosting MVP-Dagen again this autumn. This event has become a highlight of the year for me. Where Norwegian MVPs come together to share insights, inspire others, and have some good laughs along the way. The community spirit and energy at MVP-Dagen is unmatched, and I can’t wait to help make it even better this year.

For now, I’m going to soak up a bit more sunshine, enjoy some well-deserved time off with my loved ones, and recharge for another year of tech, community, and innovation.

Thanks again to everyone who’s been part of the ride so far. Let’s keep building and sharing together.
