Shoutout to my first Board mentor and manager - @Andrea Duò I learned the basics of Board from him along with my then team members @Vasilis Aravidis & @Ehthisham Ullah
A huge recognition to my guide and team lead for the last 1.5 years - @Fabio Donatellis and my biggest life saviour at desperate times of need @Stefano Ricchiuti & @Ivano Savogin
Special mention to @Pratik Tandale & @Aniket Deshmukh who have always been working hard with all our customer and partner teams and to @Astha Bhasin who has single-handedly established a smoother channel of communication between all of us through her resilient stance for fixing problems with least turnaround time.
Thanks to all these amazing colleagues, partners, customers and others who have propelled my journey toward a stable upward momentum within Board

I want to acknowledge the inspiring leadership of all the female managers I've had during this Board journey: Eni Bashllari, Eleonora Arduino, and Giada Morat. Their strength, eagerness, and sharp minds have made me a better professional.

The most important role in my Board journey was played by the wisdom of @Björn Reuber, @Andrea Mo, @Fabio Donatellis and @Federico Cazzalini. The value you guys have brought over the years and still bring to the company is immense.

Board's Partner Success Managers always have an open ear for my questions and problems. They are not only experts in the Board software, but also an important interface to other contacts. They helped me to clarify my concerns and directed me to the right people when needed.
Their support and commitment made me feel that I was in good hands and that my concerns were being taken seriously. I appreciate their availability and their ability to respond quickly and effectively to my requests.
Board's Partner Success Managers are a valuable resource that has helped make my Board journey successful.3 -
I will be sure to pass this along @Nico Weber!

At the Academy, we have had such a good relationship with @Andrea Scazzosi and his entire team at the Center of Excellence! The team has been extremely dedicated in helping us build our product enablement training for new to Board learners.

The board partner success managers in Japan taught me every detail about board. After that, I was able to learn by myself, and learnt a lot from this community, especially the best practice and how-to series.

Well, I could certainly list many names here, so I would like to thank the entire Professional Services team - they welcomed me openly and I still receive a lot of help from them today. Not everyone I met at the beginning of my journey with Board 8 years ago is still "on board" today, but I would especially like to thank @Sebastian Gurt, @Björn Reuber and @Alexander Kappes - they are still a great support to me today.

I remember when I started out, I relied on @Neeraja Rajamani, @Simone_Ferrari and to understand the different product and application related issues.
Also, @Peter Foulkes for his guidance in the Premium Support world and his great in-depth B10 tutorial videos that helped me understand the product better.
@Andrea Duò has been a great help for me with his understanding of the Board architecture and expertise in the Data Integration activities.
Also want to give a shout out to the team that has created the Board manual, the excellent articles in the Board Community and the diverse courses in the Board Academy that has helped me understand the product better.

As you can tell from TJ Barber's post, Andrea Scazzosi, Professional Services COE Director, has a fan club in the Academy team. His knowledge of Board and authentic care for the company, customers, partners, and fellow colleagues is second to none. He has been a great teacher and collaborater for the Academy team since our first visit to Chiasso. We value his feedback and appreciate his humor!

I began my journey at Board as an intern before transitioning to Professional Services Consultant. Along that journey, I was welcomed and mentored by @Erin Myers, @James Neri, and @Yuliya Berezutskiy. They were invaluable in transferring critical Board knowledge and providing guidance when I needed it most.
Along the way, I was fortunate to work under the mentorship of @Edgars Kancans and @Abhilash Sachidananda and learn how they approach using Board to solve business challenges.3 -
@Hamza Mesbahi It certainly sounds like you've had a great support system along your journey! Thanks for sharing.

I started my Board journey in 2017, and @Thomas Ussling was always there to tell me about the do's and dont's of Board 10 back then. Amazing where we came from and where Board is now!

@Mads Meissner It's fun to look back and appreciate progress! Thanks for sharing.
