About me
Marc van der Kooy
It all began with an internship at a prominent school in Rotterdam, where the challenge of overseeing 4000 machines ignited my passion for user and device management.
Eager for diverse experiences, I switch to secondment, experincing varied environments and corporate cultures. During all the years in secondment, the focus was always on managing desktops and smartphones.
Started with Novell, moving over to Microsoft SCCM and Microsoft Intune after. Started managing iPhone’s with Apple Configurator before the Apple Automated Device Enrollment became platform available.
After a few years of secondment I switch to a more consultancy-based role so I could advice and implement more smartphone focussed management solutions like Samsung Knox, MobileIron, Blackberry UEM and VMWare AirWatch. Working in a wide spectrum of industries, from law firms, government institutions and non-profit organisations.
During the projects I joined and executed I saw that the adoption part of the projects were much more important then the technlogy alone. I moved to a role to learn more about the adoption part of projects while still maintaining knowledge of technology.
For me this was a perfect combination of soft skills, user stories and technical solutions in one role.
To fully focus myself on providing the best advice and carrying out tailor-made implementations on the projects I work on, I started freelancing in 2023. As both my parents are entrepreneurs, being an entrepreneur is in my blood.
