In February 2026, I was selected as an official monday.com Ambassador, one of 50 new ambassadors joining the program this year. The invitation arrived with the subject line "You're In. Welcome to the monday.com Ambassadors Program," and it was an email I read twice.
I first shared the news on LinkedIn, but it felt like a milestone worth writing down properly, not just for what it is, but for the road that led here.
Where it really started
Most "organized" teams didn't start that way. They started with messy boards, manual work, unclear ownership and too many back-and-forths. I know, because I've seen that same pattern again and again over the past four years working with monday.com across different teams and companies.
Along the way I noticed that the turnaround almost always comes from one decision: to stop patching things and start fixing the system behind the work. Once a team makes that call, three things happen.
- Visibility improves
- Execution gets faster
- Work feels lighter and more structured
That shift is the part of the work I enjoy most, whether it's redesigning a CRM, automating a hand-off nobody wants to do by hand, or building a dashboard that finally gives leaders a clear view of the work.
What I was invited into
The monday.com Ambassadors Program is a community of the platform's most active champions. Its mission says it best:
"monday.com ambassadors are the champions of our community across industries, languages and cultures. Our ambassadors not only lead local communities, but also organize events, create content and share workflows with the world."
monday.com Ambassadors ProgramWhat stood out to me was how young and how selective the program is.
Ambassadors take part through social media, communities, webinars, events and learning opportunities, and the program recognizes that engagement with:
- Official badges and feature opportunities
- Gift cards and monday.com swag
- Trips to monday.com events
- A private community with fellow ambassadors
A small package from NYC to the Philippines
Then a welcome kit arrived, all the way from New York City to the Philippines: a welcome card and the official monday ambassador pin. It's a small thing, but it meant a lot, and I posted about it on LinkedIn too.
Thank you to Jasmine Hammond, Community Programs Manager at monday.com, and the whole monday.com team for the trust.
The best systems aren't the most complex ones. They're the ones teams actually trust and use every day.
What's next for me this year
- Going deeper on monday.com. Sharpening my skills in solution design, automations and integrations.
- Showing up at special events. Learning alongside the monday.com team and fellow ambassadors.
- Exploring what's coming. Getting an early look at future capabilities and how teams can put them to work.
- Sharing what actually works. Writing here and connecting with monday.com communities about building systems that support real operations.
