MuleSoft Ambassadors are the ultimate MuleSoft experts. These developers and architects significantly contribute to our vibrant Developer Community and eagerly mentor others on their MuleSoft journey. The MuleSoft Ambassador status is the highest achievement a Community member can attain and requires consistent demonstration of their expertise and engagement in our Developer Community. As such, these developers and architects lead MuleSoft Meetups, write blogs on their own and with MuleSoft, create video tutorials, and many other impactful contributions — with the main goal of mentoring and helping other developers succeed.
We are excited to announce that we have added 11 new MuleSoft Ambassadors to our program! Each of our new MuleSoft Ambassadors have participated in and impacted the MuleSoft Developer Community in multiple ways. These developers and architects are multi-MuleSoft certified, have spoken at MuleSoft CONNECT, Dreamforce, TrailheadX, countless Meetups, as well as created innovative materials for our Community. Our new cohort includes developers and architects from MuleSoft customers and partners all around the world! This 2020 cohort will join our original 9 MuleSoft Ambassadors, bringing us to 20 in total.
