Announcing the November 2020 ACE Cohort

[TuvyL]

I am a sucker for trend-related lists: Spotify’s Best of the Decade for You? Yes, please. BuzzFeed’s 21 Fashion Trends that Were Popular in the Last Decade, for Better or Worse? I agreed to 13 out of the 21. Do I regret the side bangs? Perhaps, but, in that same breath, crop tops paired with high-waisted leggings are flattering, so I’m taking that trend into the next decade. But you’re not here for music or fashion tips—what our community is well known for is generosity and helpfulness. Which is why, it is my pleasure to announce the November 2020 ACE Cohort! Here’s my list of seven individuals who have made a huge impact on the Alteryx Community this past year (and beyond): 

• David Pansegrouw aka @DavidP  Head of Operations at The Information Lab Ireland 
• Oliver Clarke aka @OllieClarke  Tableau and Alteryx Consultant at The Information Lab 
• Carlos Teixeira aka @carlosteixeira Specialist in Alteryx at Data Meaning 
• Alexander Gross aka @grossal Consultant at Blue Reply DE 
• Joshua Burkhow @joshuaburkhow  Global Solution Architect Director at PwC 
• Timothy Willins aka @T_Willins  Tax & Technology, Senior Manager at Nike 
• Sapna Gupta aka @grazitti_sapna  Analytics Manager at Grazitti Interactive 

Let’s take some inventory on things we could all agree are good, no matter the time or place (you can state your argument in the comments if you disagree😞 Halloween candy, puppies who dream-run with twitchy paws, freshly baked cookies, pineapple on pizza, and helpful + kind people. Someone can hold the door open for me and as I walk through that door, I’ll feel my mood immediately lifted. Regardless of size, gestures of kindness tend to make a lasting, positive impact on people. Thankfully, my role on the Community team allows me to witness this often. 

Collectively, this cohort has authored 1,147 solutions! That is 1,147 times where someone ran into a challenge and turned to the community for help. We’d like to welcome these altruists into the ACE Program and thank them for their contributions and time dedicated to help others around the world. We’re thrilled to have them join the #ACEfamily and can’t wait to see what they’ll achieve next!
