When on my AWARE Worldtrip I had the fortune of visiting Microsoft HQ with a friend in 2005.
You can ask me for details in a personal conversation. 

SharePoint had been on the market for a couple of years, with version 2007 it became a tool I had to work more with.

In the next 5 years I had the roles of Analyst, Business Consultant, teamleader en CTO in various SharePoint projects.

Finally, as CTO for a mid-size company I was able to say: "No .Net developers just yet; first we'll optimize business processes, then we'll see how SharePoint can further be of good use"

With years of IT and Information Consultancy experience I can fullfill the role of  Analyst, Teamleader or Information Architect because I speak the language of Users and Developers.
