Patrick Broens is a very early adoptor of TYPO3 and is developing with and for it since the year 2000. He was part of the TYPO3 core team for more then 12½ years and knows a lot about the ins and outs of this CMS.

Patrick is one of the owners of the company OpenGemeenten, located in Maarn, the Netherlands. They offer SAAS solutions and build websites for municipalities in the Netherlands, but also abroad, mostly using TYPO3 as their CMS of choice. Together with municipalities they try to come up with the best solutions for them. Once developed, the solution is available for all of their clients.

Patrick loves the TYPO3 community and is a regular speaker at national and international events. He loves TYPO3 so much he mostly wears TYPO3 t-shirts and hoodies. Heck, he even has the TYPO3 logo on his car.

Luisa Faßbender is a Senior Success Manager at TYPO3 GmbH by Day and TYPO3 Marketing Team Lead by Night. Since it's the most asked question: Success management mainly includes the TYPO3 Partner & Agency Management and every type of communication that comes with that ;-) She fell in love with both – TYPO3 as a product and a community – in 2015, when she started her internship as a project manager at Marketing Factory Consulting GmbH and attended her first TYPO3Camp RheinRuhr.

Ever since then, she's been infected with the TYPO3 virus and travels around the nation to spread the word about her beloved CMS. Additionally, Luisa holds a Master's Degree in Management, Marketing & Communications and always loves to connect and discuss!
