Bio
Pier Francesco Piccolomini
Markus and I worked in the same department for almost five years, and we have been part of the same team for a couple of years. It has been a pleasure to work with him. Not only he was always up-to-date with on everything that was Windows-related, keeping the whole team well informed on all the important matters, but he is also a very nice and kind person. He mixes together both a focused, analytical work approach and an easy, nice way of dealing with people. A very good colleague and friend!
Wolfgang Harbauer
I had the pleasure to work with Markus during various years as his Editor-in-Chief. He is an excellent journalist who uses both sharp analytical skills and gut feeling in order to find the right story. As Lead Windows Expert he and his team published exclusive and highly successful articles and videos. He is a person who is driven by learning new things and improving his skills while always maintaining a great team spirit. Markus has strong social skills which allow him to connect very fast with people and which makes working with him really easy.
