At #KNIME, I serve as the Community Ambassador Strategist, leading efforts to scout, support, and grow our community of advocates and ambassadors. My role involves identifying and engaging with prospective champions, organizing global KNIME events, and setting up award programs to recognize key contributors. I collaborate closely with our Evangelism, Customer Care, and Marketing teams to define and implement our ambassador engagement strategy, ensuring our community’s needs and challenges are met. I aim to drive awareness and foster a collaborative spirit within the KNIME community, helping users leverage our innovative, intuitive, open-source data analytics platforms.
