As you all know, Sitecore MVP 2020 list was out at the end of January 2020 (you may want to have a look at the press release). I has been named a Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in the Technology. I was one of only 154 Technology MVPs worldwide to be named a Sitecore MVP this year 2020.

Personally, I’m super happy to be awarded Sitecore MVP title for the 3^rd consecutive time (2018-2020) and keep my own country – Vietnam – being recognized by Sitecore MVP Program for the contributions to the Sitecore Community.

• Thanks Sitecore for the award!
• Thanks all my colleagues for supporting! They have been behind me since day one!
• Thanks the Sitecore Community for being so helpful as always!

A special thanks to:

• my beloved team members: Daryl Ho, Kai Hui Chia, Lovely Marie Sanchez Amalay, Liezel Tobiano, Haw Jeh Lee – who keep supporting me all the time
• my company – Websparks – keeps giving new Sitecore opportunities to me so that I have gained more Sitecore knowledge + experience + lessons-learnt 🙂

Motivations

As we all know, Sitecore MVP Award is a consequence of various contributions to the Sitecore community with much passion. Personally, I just wanted to share my Sitecore love with everyone. I’m not sure that my contributions will be enough for the Sitecore MVP 2021 Award, however, I know that I will enjoy sharing my Sitecore love with people around the world 🙂

Appreciations

Congratulations to all Sitecore MVPs 2020. It’s my honor to be among of you guys for the third year in a row. You folks inspire me all the time and I learn a lot from our awesome Sitecore community. Much appreciated!

 

Happy Sitecore MVP Program!
