Sitecore's MVP Program honors members of the international Sitecore community who have demonstrated advanced knowledge of the Sitecore platform and a commitment to sharing knowledge and technical expertise with community partners, customers, and prospects over the past year.

Those who hit their ten-year milestone in 2023 include: Anders Laub, Cameron Walker, Dan Cruickshank, David Mead, Jeroen Speldekamp, Julia Gavrilova, Marek Musielak, Michael Reynolds and Rasmus Kirkegaard Mortensen.

"It is with great pleasure we honor these 241 professionals with this elite distinction for their commitment, inspiration, technical acumen, mentorship and support", said Dave O'Flanagan, Sitecore chief product officer. "MVPs are the backbone of the global Sitecore community, representing partners, customers, developers, marketing professionals and business executives. The knowledge and experience they share help our customers and partners build incredible digital experiences for their organizations and customers."

"I am honoured to be awarded a Sitecore MVP for the 10^th time. This recognition brought back memories of the first MVP award I received 10 years ago, which was completely unexpected", said Julia Gavrilova, long-time Sitecore MVP. "I don't know any other development community where everyone is so supportive and eager to share knowledge and expertise. I am very proud to be part of this group of professionals, and am excited to continue helping others to learn, grow and build incredible digital experiences with Sitecore."

Zoé Freeman, first-time Sitecore MVP shared, "I am overjoyed to be accepted to the MVP Program as an Ambassador. My journey with Sitecore has allowed me to bring people, projects and products together, win awards, travel and further my career. This award is the culmination of that journey and I'm so grateful to Sitecore for the honour. I want to continue to make an impact that matters as a champion for diversity and an advocate for the amazing people and technology that make up the Sitecore community."
