About Marcel Lehmann
Hello, I’m Marcel Lehmann, a Microsoft Business Applications (BizzApps) MVP based in Switzerland 🇨🇭. My journey into the Power Platform world started in 2017 from a rather unexpected place – repetitive manual tasks that begged for automation.
My Power Platform Journey
Coming from a commercial apprenticeship background, I discovered the Power Platform while searching for ways to escape the endless cycle of repetitive work. My first automation? A simple Power Automate flow that notified my supervisor whenever a Planner task was completed. That small victory opened my eyes to a world of possibilities – invest a little time upfront, save countless hours forever. This philosophy still drives my passion today.

- 🥇 Microsoft Switzerland Partner of the Year - Achieved with my very first project at a consulting firm
