Vlad Catrinescu

As a Technology Evangelist at Syskit, I work at the intersection of product and practice. I collaborate with IT teams adopting Syskit governance and security tools for Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams, translating real-world admin challenges into product feedback, technical guidance, and educational content. I regularly validate best practices for Copilot readiness, permissions management, and workload governance inside customer environments.

Independent consulting practice focused on Microsoft 365 governance, SharePoint architecture, and Power Platform automation. Over the years, I have helped organizations plan and execute SharePoint migrations, design governance frameworks, implement security policies, and optimize their Microsoft 365 investments. Recent engagements focus on Copilot readiness assessments and AI Agents deployment strategies.

Recognized by Microsoft as a Most Valuable Professional (MVP) since 2013, awarded continuously across SharePoint, Office Apps and Services, Microsoft 365, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Power Automate, and PowerShell. As an MVP, I have early access to product teams, contribute feedback on upcoming features, and help shape how organizations adopt Microsoft technologies.

Vlad Talks Tech is where I share what I learn from working hands-on with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Copilot, and Power Platform. Through YouTube videos, blog posts, and a newsletter, I create practical, no-fluff content for IT professionals who want to get things done, not just read about it. I also run a community of IT pros who are navigating the same challenges I work through every day.

170+ conferences and 300+ sessions across six continents. Featured speaker at Microsoft Ignite, Microsoft Inspire, Microsoft Power Platform Conference, and the Microsoft 365 Conference. Regular at ESPC, TechCon365, European Power Platform Conference, CollabDays, and community events worldwide. Topics span SharePoint governance, Microsoft 365 administration, Microsoft Copilot, AI Agents, and Power Platform.

Co-founded SharePoint-Community.net with Mark Jones as a central hub for the global SharePoint community. Grew to over 90,000 pageviews per month and 7,000 members. Later rebranded as Collab365.

I author courses on Pluralsight covering Microsoft 365 administration, SharePoint governance, Power Platform, Microsoft Copilot, and Microsoft certification preparation. With 100+ courses and over 1 million unique viewers, I translate hands-on implementation experience into practical, structured learning for IT professionals worldwide.

As a Product Evangelist at Valo, I worked with organizations deploying Valo Intranet on Microsoft 365 and SharePoint. I gathered customer feedback, validated deployment best practices, and created technical guidance for IT teams implementing intranet solutions across their organizations.

As the Global SharePoint Administrator at WSP, an engineering company with over 20,000 users across multiple countries, I consolidated 10+ SharePoint farms into a unified environment, improving uptime, reducing administrative overhead, and enabling consistent governance across the organization. I also managed day-to-day operations, performance optimization, and new feature rollouts.

As a SharePoint Consultant I worked on over 15 SharePoint Projects at clients and helped them get the most out of SharePoint. Some of the clients include Ivanhoe Cambridge, Administration Portuaire de Montreal, Logibec, Astral Media, Aeroports de Montreal, Valacta and more!

As a SharePoint Consultant, I managed implementations from initial deployment through governance and customization for multiple organizations. Key work included upgrading SharePoint environments from 2007 to 2010, automating deployments with PowerShell, and deploying multi-tier farm architectures.
