Ronald Beekelaar is a man of many talents. A qualified computer scientist, he has been involved in training and certification within the Microsoft ecosystem since the 1990s. Following the introduction of virtualisation in the early 2000s, he swiftly became one of the foremost experts in this area. Initially, he focused on VMware products, but with the release of Hyper-V — Microsoft's first in-house hypervisor development — Microsoft's solution became the centre of his work.
He founded Virsoft , developing it into one of the leading lab hosting providers.
During the 2026 MCT Summit in Sarajevo, I spoke to Ronald about his education in the Netherlands and the USA, learning and teaching in the 1990s, and his views on cultural differences in learning between continents. We also discussed the future of teaching and learning in the age of artificial intelligence, learning with disabilities and his unique experiences with the Dutch royal family.
