IT Pro Evangelist

Kevin has been working in the technology field focused on Microsoft management technologies since the early ‘90s. With IBM Global Services he worked on many Standard Desktop projects and SMS roll outs beginning prior to SMS 1.0. He began training and consulting on SMS, Windows and eventually Windows 2000 and Active Directory. Group Policy was a relatively heavy focus for customers as it was new, it was very different from System Policies and it was essentially a part of the Active Directory offering which was a huge paradigm shift for IT organizations. In the last seven years he’s worked for software companies as a Technical Product Manager assisting in all facets of product development. Working with developers to help them understand the customer needs has been a major focus of his work along with being a bit of a technical evangelist. Helping customers understand how Microsoft’s technologies fit into their environments has always been a critical component of his work.

Winni Verhoef started his career at Microsoft 8 years ago in The Netherlands as an Evangelist. In that role, he promoted Microsoft’s client products to audiences in various programs (TS2 like) until he shifted to educating partners on the server side with the introduction of Windows 2000 Server. Later, Winni joined marketing and managed several Microsoft server products. He then moved to the US 2 years ago and into the client group since less than a year. After some successful projects like Windows Vista Registration and the Windows Vista Product Guide, he is now focusing on the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack, in particular the underlying components of Advanced Group Policy Management and Asset Inventory Services.
