First of all, a very happy New Year to everyone of the best community there is 😉
It truly feels great to be writing here again.
For those who already know me: I’ve been part of the Veeam Community Hub since the very beginning and had the honor of being a Veeam Legend for four consecutive years. The community has always been an important part of my professional journey, so stepping away wasn’t an easy decision.
Some of you may have noticed that I was completely absent last year—and that I didn’t attend the latest Veeam 100 Summit in Prague. Unfortunately, throughout 2025 my time was extremely limited, and I simply couldn’t engage in the way this community deserves. I made the conscious decision to take a sabbatical year from community activities. It was a hard call, but ultimately the right one.
The good news?
After a year, there’s once again room to focus on what I love:
✔ sharing quality-driven content
✔ participating in meaningful discussions
✔ helping others within the community
And I’m fully committed to doing that again—on a regular basis.
A Personal Blog… With a Twist 👨👩👧👦
During 2025, I also made another decision: I wanted to return with a personal blog site, just like several of my fellow Legends and Vanguards. But I wanted it to be a bit different.
Instead, it became a family project.
Together with my son Jarne Losschaert and my eldest daughter Jade Losschaert—each connected to IT in their own way—we built something unique. Different generations, different perspectives, but one shared passion for technology 😎
The result is something I’m genuinely proud of.
All kudos go to my son and daughter 🥰

What’s Next?
From now on, you’ll see me active again:

on my own website
-
within the Veeam Community Hub
-
and once more as a Veeam User Group Leader in Belgium
I’m genuinely looking forward to the year ahead—and hopefully we’ll see each other again at the next Veeam 100 Summit.
Thanks for reading,
and it’s good to be back! 💚
