vExpert 2023: I did it again!

Last Friday I was recognised by VMware as vExpert for 7 years in a row. I’m glad to continue being part of this fantastic community and be able to enjoy the program’s benefits.

These last 7 years have been incredible, I have had the chance to work closely with people from all over the world, exchanging knowledge, ideas, experiences, etc.

Also, I built my home lab by taking advantage of the licenses provided by the program. This helps me to create new material for this blog, enjoying the latest product versions.

vExpert Sub-Programs

Sub-Programs are the chance that vExperts have to join smaller communities (inside the program) and get access ti the different business units.

The application and voting process is very similar to the vExpert program but the criteria are determined by the business units driving the program. Only vExperts are allowed to apply for these sub-programs as we are not accepting outside applications.

I encourage everyone to start planning their application for the second half of the year and if there are any doubt or questions do not hesitate in contacting me.
