'’I hope you take away that Veeam truly is more than just a data protection platform - it is empowerment. Empowerment in a community, empowerment via protecting the workloads that support and give voice to so many people, empowerment for the sysadmin that needs a rock-solid solution so he or she can sleep at night, empowerment to the small business that cannot afford downtime, empowerment to the guys and girls trying to make a living like myself that have a passion for protecting data.'’

'’The Veeam Vanguard community has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. I’ve built lifelong friendships, expanded my professional network across the globe, and found a group of peers who challenge and inspire me daily'’

'’Community engagements encompass VeeamON, VUG events (both online and in-person), and the V100 Summit. This is where connections are truly forged. Beyond these events, we stay connected year-round, sharing discussions about life, hobbies, and personal goals '’

'’Being selected as a Vanguard for the 3rd year in a row means a lot to me. This is recognition for the work and effort we invest with our clients to protect them with the first class products '’

"One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the value of authenticity. You don’t need to know everything to contribute; just be curious and generous with what you do know. The community embraces that mindset, and it’s why I’ve never felt out of place, even among tech’s brightest minds. Another lesson? Visibility matters. Sharing my work—through blogs, forums, or talks—didn’t just help others; it built my brand in ways that opened doors I couldn’t have predicted.'’

The Veeam Vanguard program has had a significant impact on my career, and I am now serving as a Chief Architect. If you are a fan of Veeam products or an expert in backup solutions, I highly recommend applying for the Veeam Vanguard program. It offers a wealth of information about Veeam products and the opportunity to connect with industry experts. Beyond technical knowledge, this program provides valuable insights and networking opportunities.
