Nenad Trajkovski, a regular speaker at Microsoft conferences and a MPUG webinar presenter, holds the title of MVP for his work implementing various ERP and DWH systems in large companies. Nenad has been awarded MVP nine times.

Raphael Santos was first awarded MVP in 2016. He works in the Project Management field and is responsible for helping companies in the adoption and implementation of Microsoft´s PPM platform (Project Desktop, Project Server, and Project Online).
