  • Jorg Thuijls
    Expert since 2023

    ABOUT ME I am grateful to live in the beautiful city of Brisbane in Australia. I am a father of 3, which keeps me busy! I like to stay active, so I like to spend my little spare time running, rock climbing or at the gym. I know my surname has a very rare spelling – I think I may be the only Jorg Thuijls in the world! Which, by the way, is pronounced something like “tails”. ON LEARNING Since my brain is my biggest asset, I try to keep it sharp. I spend a lot of time keeping up to date with the latest technologies and industry trends. This is how I can continue to provide innovative software designs and solutions to clients. SHARING IS CARING I enjoy sharing my experiences and ideas, and I love educating or inspiring others. I have been speaking or giving demonstrations at national and international conferences for years, both in person and online. In addition, I co-organise SAP Community Events in the beautiful city of Brisbane, Australia. It is my view that we are all better off with a vibrant community around us. ASK ME ANYTHING I am curious. I ask many people about a lot of things in any given week. Feel free to contact me. I am always open to talking about my work and the work that I am involved in.
