About Ruben

I'm a Microsoft Business Applications specialist with 13+ years of
experience delivering solutions with Power Platform and Dynamics
365 - from hands-on implementation to leading enterprise-scale
practices.

Most recently, I built and led the Power Platform practice at IWG,
now supporting 10,000+ users and 100+ environments across
business-critical areas like customer service, procurement, sales,
and finance. I established governance (CoE, DLP), integrated
delivery into SDLC frameworks, and focused on closing process
gaps with scalable, low-code solutions.

I've also managed large CRM support operations, delivered solutions
in banking, oil & gas, and professional services, and led teams
across architecture, delivery, and presales.
