Hey there!
I’m Peter van Zeist, a Principal Solutions Consultant, Technical Presales expert, Systems Engineer, and Manager of an EMEA-wide team of Solutions Consultants. With over 21 years of experience in the dynamic realms of SaaS and Cloud, I’m here to bridge the gap between your business conundrums and the software solutions that can propel your success.
My tech journey started with online meetings, remote support, and enterprise file sharing – back when those things were still new and exciting. Before that, I built websites (front- and backend) and did hands-on hardware and software support. These days, I focus on Password and Identity Management for business clients in the EMEA region.
Over the years, I’ve helped bring cloud and hybrid software into some of the biggest companies in Europe. It’s given me a good mix of customer insight, problem-solving skills, and project management know-how.
Outside of work, I care deeply about the environment. I’m a passionate scuba diver and have seen the impact of reef damage and climate change up close. That’s why I try to make eco-friendly choices in daily life – we drive electric, use public transport, power our home and home office with green energy, and installed solar panels on the roof. You can read more about that (and my diving adventures) on my German dive blog: BlogBu.ch.
Since buying a home in 2020, I’ve gotten into smart home tech and energy-saving upgrades. It’s fun, and it really helps cut down our energy use – something I’ll also write about here from time to time.
I’m always curious about what’s next in science and technology, love tinkering with websites, and enjoy writing about the things that interest me. When I’m not working or diving into a tech project, you’ll find me watching motorsports (F1, Formula E, GT, Rally, Endurance – all of it!) or racing electric RC cars just for the thrill of it.
At home, I’m a proud dad to a 9-year-old daughter, husband to a wonderful wife, and we share our life with two lovable cats. As a family, we love traveling and discovering new podcasts along the way.
Thanks for stopping by! If you’d like to connect, feel free to reach out on LinkedIn or drop me an email.
Cheers,
Peter
