Cover Image for Marcel Gruber Awarded 2024 Sitecore MVP

Sitecore has announced the 2024 Most Valuable Professionals, and I am honoured to be among the 247 of them:

https://www.sitecore.com/company/newsroom/press-releases/2024/02/sitecore-announces-2024-most-valuable-professionals

A few stats I find interesting are:

  • Only 21 MVPs are located in Canada (less than 10% of the total)
  • 10 are Technology MVPs (~50% of the total in Canada)

MVP Program Improvements

Sitecore has done a great job updating the MVP directory website. Shout out to Ivan Lickens who appears to be the mastermind behind it all. You can find me on the directory here:

This year, Sitecore has also introduced Credly badges:

Thoughts & Thanks

I am proud to be part of the Sitecore community and to have contributed to it. I am grateful for the recognition and the opportunity to continue to contribute. Thanks to Sitecore for the recognition, and One North for the support.

Numbers and congratulations aside, what matters most is impact. The content I have coming this year is sure to be my most impactful yet.

Keep contributing,

-MG
