A speaking profile for boards, executive committees and corporate events. He helps leaders cut through the AI noise and turns Copilot into habits, value and lasting change - grounded in 50+ real rollouts, not slideware.
The MVP award recognises a select group of independent Microsoft experts worldwide. As a Copilot MVP, Pieter is in continuous contact with Microsoft's product teams - staying ahead of every shift in Copilot and Generative AI, and translating what's coming into concrete, current business needs for the organisations he advises.
Most AI talks pick one lens. Pieter brings all three together - exactly what boards and ExCo audiences need to make confident decisions.
A working command of Microsoft 365, Copilot, AI agents, governance and the wider AI landscape - grounded in practice, not theory.
Translating technology into the strategic questions that matter: value creation, productivity, risk, culture, adoption and ROI.
Starting from what he sees at organisations already working with Copilot and GenAI - the lessons, the pitfalls and the success factors.
Pieter is most at home with large organisations: speaking to leadership teams, executive committees and business audiences, and translating technical possibility into clear, actionable insight for non-technical leaders.
Complex organisations balancing innovation with governance, compliance and data security across many teams and use cases.
Ambitious mid-market organisations scaling beyond first experiments toward structured, repeatable value from Copilot and M365.
Federations and sector organisations that need to inspire and align many member organisations around a shared AI direction.
Sessions go beyond a feature tour. They blend strategic insight with powerful live demos when that lands the story, and can be tailored to your audience and maturity. A selection (not exhaustive):
What genuinely works today, what is still evolving, and how leaders can look at the possibilities realistically rather than chasing every headline.
Where AI really pays off, and how to talk about ROI and value when the gains show up as productivity, time, quality and better decisions.
Why durable AI adoption is mostly about behaviour, trust, habits and leadership, and what makes new ways of working actually stick.
How to leave room for innovation without losing control, and how organisations evolve from personal productivity toward automation and AI agents.
Pieter also speaks more broadly on the digital workplace and what makes M365 and transformation programmes succeed - digital workplace strategy, adoption & change management, governance foundations, and turning technology into lasting ways of working. Copilot is the lead story; the broader transformation is the supporting one.
