Meet Alexander Eggers – Microsoft's MVP (Most Valuable Professional)
The Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) Award is the highest honor that can be awarded annually by Microsoft since 1995. Nominees impress with their high level of technical expertise, which they document in their contributions (lectures, books, blog posts). In doing so, they make a significant contribution to the community for Microsoft. “Without such an incredibly valuable and dedicated group of people working with us, we could not be successful” – Brian Harry, Microsoft Corporate Vice President. The individual MVPs form a global community from over 90 countries/regions. I am very pleased to introduce you today to the MVP award winner Alexander Eggers. The interview is divided into two parts. In the first part, we get to know Alexander Eggers personally, while in the second part, we will delve deeper into his activities as an MVP. What does an MVP actually enjoy doing most in their free time, and what is their actual profession? You can find the answers in the first part of our interview with Alexander Eggers.

Interview with Alexander Eggers – Part 1
**What do you do professionally when you are not working in your role as an MVP? ** This year, our company, epc GmbH, is celebrating its 25th anniversary. There, I serve as managing director and specialize in Teams adoption and change management for small and medium-sized enterprises.
**How long have you been an MVP? ** In September 2020, I was awarded the Microsoft MVP award for Office, Apps and Services. There are only 25 people awarded in this category in Germany, and I am very honored to be among them.
**What goals do you have for your homepage or blog (if you have one)? ** MVPs share their knowledge publicly and free of charge. In addition, there are many workshops, speaking engagements, conferences, and more, which due to the current situation are almost always online: On my blog lists all these events. I also share tips and tricks, reviews, and more, and am particularly active on social networks like LinkedIn or YouTube.
**Who do you follow to stay up to date with Microsoft? ** Definitely my fellow MVPs. I also follow the Microsoft Teams blog website and the MS Roadmap page with all upcoming updates.
**What does an MVP like to do most in their free time? ** Since I have turned my hobby into a profession, the same topics are on my agenda. In the evenings, I spend most of my time in webinars or conferences, on YouTube or LinkedIn. There are so incredibly many learning resources with free content – it is simply sensational and really fun. That’s why I’m happy when I can help other people advance their skills just as much.
Thank you for this fascinating insight, Mr. Eggers. I look forward to the second part of the interview!
