DEPT® celebrates five-time Sitecore MVP award

Sitecore has named DEPT®’s Client Development Director, Paul Thomas, in the 2022 Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Awards for the fifth year running.

Of more than 30,000 active community participants, Paul is one of only 63 Ambassadors worldwide. He is joined by 141 Technology MVPs and 31 Strategy MVPs. After securing a Strategy MVP win in 2018, he has been named an Ambassador MVP in the four years since. 
 
The Sitecore MVP programme recognises professionals within the Sitecore community who actively apply their talent and expertise to help others best utilise Sitecore products and deliver premier customer experiences. The MVPs are selected for the quality, quantity and impact of the contributions they made throughout the last year, including sharing product expertise and mastery of the platform to support customers and prospects. 
 
“It’s a real privilege to be recognised as an Ambassador within the Sitecore MVP community for another year,” said Paul. “The network of Ambassador, Technology and Strategy MVPs provides tangible value to Sitecore customers and prospects, and I look forward to continuing to collaborate with these individuals throughout 2022.”
 
The MVP programme is more than an award; it also offers exclusive invitations to MVP discussion forums, regional meetings and exclusive events, as well as access to privileges such as early product releases, discussions with the product teams, and webinars. 
 
Dave O’Flanagan, Sitecore’s Chief Product Officer, said: “The Sitecore community is one of our greatest assets. It’s a highly collaborative environment where members freely share their knowledge and insights across numerous channels and at events. Sitecore MVPs stand out as community leaders who are dedicated to helping others build greater digital experiences for their organisations and customers. They are an invaluable resource and important part of the Sitecore user experience, for which we are truly grateful.”
