BJ Holtgrewe is a Senior Product Manager/Technical Evangelist in the
Microsoft Business Tools Division. He spends every waking hour
spreading the gospel of Microsoft's location-based products including
MapPoint to customers, developers, software vendors, Microsoft Certified
Solution Providers, and almost anyone else that will listen - you will
have lasting memories if you sit next to him on a long flight! As a
member of Geography Product Unit, BJ helps shape the vision for
Microsoft products that have geographic and location-aware
functionality.
Prior to his Technical Evangelist role, BJ served as a Product Planner
for MapPoint. When he first joined the team he served as the Lead
Program Manager in the Microsoft Map Building System. BJ is currently
emerged in Microsoft's .NET initiative and holds two patents in the area
of location awareness. He is a speaker at numerous conferences and
seminars, and is currently authoring a book on MapPoint 2002.
Before life at Microsoft, he was a project and design consultant and
worked for software companies on the East Coast and in Europe. In his
spare time he loves to travel the world (someone needs to check the
accuracy of the maps!). He has an incurable appetite for European
professional cycling and old printed maps. Even earlier in his history
BJ was an avid skydiver instructor, internationally rated skydiving
judge and underwater search and recovery diver. |
