Provide a short summary of why you should be selected by the community as a Digital Experience MVP

I have been helping C-level leadership with digital strategy, performance marketing, enterprise architecture, technology evaluation, and selection for 13+ years. I have covered 10+ content management systems, CRM / CDP selections, PIM, and ERP. It is challenging for complex organizations to choose the right technology for their digital strategy, manage data, content, and IT, select the right partner, ensure adoption, and manage change, This is my passion. I love to share and educate. If I were to become a digital experience MVP, this is how I will be contributing. I am currently a Kontent.ai strategy MVP.

Contributions you have made in the Digital Experience (DX) community online and in-person (i.e., blog posts, podcasts, webinars, encouraged others to join)?

I have worked with C-Level leadership for large, (inter)national enterprise customers for over 13 years on digital strategy, performance marketing, technology evaluation and selection. This covers 10 enterprise CMS systems, CRM (i.e. Dynamics and Salesforce), CDP's, product information management (PIM), ERP etc. Senior stakeholders struggle especially when there are a large number of discipline at the cross section of their digital transformation programs. These consist of, customer data, data governance, conversion optimization, UX / UI, content (strategy, management, distribution) and how all of these influence technology selection and vice versa. I think what I bring is the experience, not just of being on the strategy and enterprise architecture consulting side but also the experience of implementing it with international development teams. In order to facilitate and accelerate these digital transformation programs, I have developed a number of consulting products such as the enterprise CMS blueprint selection and a Future State E-Commerce and digital business blueprint, both approved and successfully implemented by large, international clients. Aside from this I love to share and educate, with internal teams, client teams, technology and agency partners. This is what I can contribute as a DX MVP. Currently, I am a Kontent.ai Strategy MVP especially active in composable, digital transformations. It is a lot of fun.
