About Me

I hate to talk about myself... but I guess you want to know who's responsible for this! So, here it is... my name is Marianne van Wanrooij.

I'm living with my cat in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands (near Utrecht). I love playing squash and go out for dinner, a drink or a good movie!

I work as a Solution Architect, specialised in Information worker solutions, for my own company Connected Solutions.

I'm in the organisation of 2 user groups; DIWUG (Dutch Information Worker User Group) and I'm track owner of the SDN (Software Developers Network) Information Worker section.

And I'm the lead editor for the DIWUG SharePoint eMagazine. In this role I'm looking for authors and sponsors for the magazine and I review articles.

With this site I hope to give the community more information on Information Worker solutions. Not only this site but also started a blog on my Workplace Management Space.

So what do I do and where can you find me...

besides working

Here you will find all the thing I do for the community.
