Here we go again—and this time, it’s a milestone. I am extremely honored to be selected as a Nutanix Technology Champion (NTC) program for 2026, marking my 10th consecutive year as part of this remarkable global community.
🔟 Years, 1️⃣ Commitment 🙅🏻♂️🙅🏻♀️
From my very first year as an NTC, to this moment a decade later, the journey has been nothing short of exciting. Always supported by the incredible Helient organization, the NTC program has given me far more than access to early product roadmaps and insider sessions—it’s given me a platform to collaborate, elevate others, and drive real impact in the enterprise tech world.
Nutanix describes this program as a celebration of excellence and innovation—and I couldn’t agree more. The 2026 NTC class announcement, again, underscores Nutanix’s commitment to recognizing contributors who shape the future of hybrid multicloud, security, and beyond.
🪞Looking Back: Reflections from the Journey 🤔
Over the years, I’ve documented this path:
Each of these years has brought new peers, deeper engagement, and a stronger sense of mission. Like others have recently shared, there’s a unique satisfaction in growing with the community.
🏘️ Community & Why It Still Matters 💜
The camaraderie of the NTC program is second to none. At its core, being an NTC is about giving back: to customers, to colleagues, to community. It’s a role that demands technical sharpness, yes—but also selflessness, curiosity, and leadership. And as Nutanix pushes forward into AI, hybrid multicloud, and data resilience, the NTC community will continue to be at the leading edge of that momentum.
📈 Onward to 2026 🎊
As I begin this 10th year, I want to thank the entire Nutanix team, the NTC program leaders, and my fellow champions across the globe. I’m proud to wear the #NTC2026 badge and excited to keep building, sharing, and innovating together.
See you on the journey. ☁️
