About

Two decades of infrastructure work, brought to Amsterdam's mid-market.

I'm [Founder Name] — an independent IT infrastructure consultant based in Amsterdam, specialising in VMware-to-Nutanix migration and the Microsoft server, directory, and virtual desktop platforms that surround it.

The short version

My career has been spent inside the systems that keep organisations running — designing, deploying, and maintaining VMware and Nutanix environments, Active Directory, Windows Server, Group Policy, and virtual desktop infrastructure across enterprises where downtime isn't an option.

I moved from the United States to Amsterdam to build Voorsprong Infra as an independent consultancy. The timing was deliberate. Broadcom's acquisition of VMware has reshaped the licensing landscape, and Dutch organisations — from mid-market enterprises to managed service providers — are actively rethinking their virtualization strategy. That's the work I'm here to do.

What I bring to a client isn't a slide deck. It's the operational reality of having lived inside these platforms for twenty years — knowing where the dependencies hide, where the cutovers go wrong, and what "production-safe" actually means when the migration weekend arrives.

How I work

Four principles that shape every engagement.

Independent consulting only works when the client can trust what they're being told. These are the standards I hold my own work to.

01

Vendor-neutral by design

I don't take vendor commissions or resell licences. My recommendations come from what fits your environment — not what pays a referral fee.

02

Advice grounded in delivery

The person who assesses your environment is the person who migrates it. No handoff to a junior team, no gap between what's advised and what's built.

03

Production stays protected

Migrations are executed in controlled waves with validation gates. Nothing gets decommissioned until the new platform has proven it can carry the load.

02/  Fit

Who I work well with — and who I don't.

Being direct about fit saves everyone time. Here's who tends to get the most out of working together.

Strong fit

Where I add the most value

  • →Organisations facing a VMware renewal, licence review, or 2027 deadline
  • →Mid-market IT teams that need senior judgement without hiring a whole firm
  • →MSPs needing experienced migration capacity for a specific client project
  • →Projects where getting the assessment right matters more than moving fast
Not a fit

Where you'd be better served elsewhere

  • →Pure staff augmentation for long-term generalist IT operations
  • →Very large enterprise programmes that need a full consulting bench
  • →Greenfield public-cloud-only builds with no on-prem or hybrid footprint
  • →Work that requires reselling vendor licences or hardware

The best way to know if there's a fit is to talk it through. No pressure, no jargon — just a clear read on where you stand.
