  • 1.  Thrilled to be first-year Champion

    Posted Mon February 03, 2025 03:58 AM

    Hi everyone,

    I am from the netherlands and I know our country is small; we don't have many IBM Champions from the Netherlands.

    I am thrilled and honored to be chosen as IBM Champion for 2025. I hope to see many of my fellow-Champions in person this year, and hope to be able to contribute to the community. I will do my best to continue my advocacy work, will start writing blogs on AIX (and related subjects) and hope to continue my Champion-ship in the coming years.

    Once again: thank you IBM for recognizing my efforts.
