We're thrilled to announce the newest additions to our exceptional group of Most Valuable Pathfinders (MVPs)! We've selected 17 new MVPs from across the world — all of whom are excited to share their expertise to help Pathfinder Community members learn, grow and make a greater impact in their organizations and across the automation industry.

We were impressed by the expertise of the applicants — the Pathfinder Community has so many brilliant members! During this process, we had the opportunity to interview many incredible developers and automation leaders, and this made the selection process TOUGH!

How did we select our MVPs?
Think of MVPs as the heartbeat of the Pathfinder Community: they give life to the community by sharing their knowledge and time through many different channels. You’ll find them deep in our forums answering questions 24/7. You’ll learn best practices from them during virtual events like Pathfinder Summit, User Groups and Developer Meetups. You'll see them on stage at Imagine, inspiring the audience with their successes and insights, and doing the same thing online by sharing their knowledge and expertise on LinkedIn and other social media outlets. They earn this title through their dedication to our community and the field of automation. In the end, we selected MVPs because they demonstrated their commitment to supporting our community members.

Celebrating Our New MVPs
