Merriam-Webster defines Luminary as person of prominence or brilliant achievement.

Obviously, it is an honor to be named as a Qlik Luminary this year.

Qlik Luminaries are bloggers, prolific developers, Qlik community MVPs and user group organizers.

In other words, Qlik Luminaries have passion for Qlik.

Becoming a Qlik Luminary isn’t just about better business practices. It’s about creating a better world—one in which data is harnessed to create beneficial changes, not just for their own organizations, but for others, too. Qlik Luminaries are constantly pushing the envelope, finding new and innovative ways to use, deploy and talk about Qlik solutions. — Qlik.com

I can’t express in words how ecstatic I feel to be named among these brilliant minds who constantly push the envelope to not only evangelize Qlik around the globe but also to make a meaningful difference in this world.

For the rest of the year and beyond, I pledge to do my best to live up to expectations of this worthy recognition.
