Welcome to the 2019 Class of Citrix Technology Professionals!
What a year! We received 90 applications for the Citrix Technology Professional (CTP) and Citrix Technology Advocate (CTA) programs — more than any year in the history of the CTP program.
During the summer of 2018, we restructured the program by partnering CTP members with Citrix product managers and engineers to form specialty product-focused groups. These smaller working teams have engendered greater trust and better communication between CTPs and product teams and, in the end, better Citrix products.
And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for!
In 2018, we welcomed seven new members to the CTP family. This year, we are welcoming — wait for it — 17 (yes, SEVENTEEN) new members!
Without further ado, we are pleased to recognize the newest members of the CTP family. Eight of our new members join us from the CTA program.
Please join Citrix, the CTPs, and me in congratulating our newest Citrix Technology Professional awardees.
