I am TOTALLY overjoyed to see eight new EU Salesforce MVPs!! Especially as several of them I mentored! I still remember when all the EU MVPs rocked up to the Salesforce London big Cloudforce event. There were just 4 of us, now 26 of us (I think). We’ve also added Italy & Israel to the countries that now have a Salesforce MVP in them. I’m also relieved that I was renewed this year as well. I’m now a 5x or 6x Salesforce MVP… I’ve lost count
The Salesforce MVP Programme is a programme run by Salesforce to award people in the community for their Accessibility, Expertise, Responsiveness, Leadership & Advocacy in Salesforce. If you want to learn about how Salesforce awards and MVP they have recently created a blog about the whole process!
And now for the new MVPs:
Mohamed El Moussaoui – France
Mohamed & Fabien run the Paris Dev user group. They were both over from France for London’s Calling a couple of weeks ago and I was REALLY hoping this year would be the year they made MVP. They run the Paris user group for quite a while and they are both great guys!!

Fabien Taillon – France
Fabien did a talk at London’s Calling when he was over and its well worth a watch! “Style your application with Lightning Experience Look & Feel using SLDS”

Jodi Wagner – UK
Ok, she is a US transplant but she knows she’s not going to be allowed back into the US. I’m going to make sure of that She runs the London Business User Group, London Women in Tech as well as one of the organisers of London’s Calling… she had four talks at Dreamforce last year and is generally all round amazing.

Roy Gilad – Israel
Ok well, maybe not technically in the EU? (? I don’t know) but a very close EU neighbour anyway Roy is the Israel User Group Leader and has talked at Dreamforce and was to talk at London’s Calling but unfortunately, couldn’t make it. But hopefully, next year!
Enrico Murru – Italy
Sooo chuffed to have Enrico as Salesforce’s FIRST Italian MVP! Totally brilliant. Check out this great dev blog and also has some great GitGub Repos.

Agustina García – Spain
Agustina is like a Carolina double ok only because they both work for FinancialForce and both live in Spain
She runs one of the few Spanish Salesforce dev blogs (although my Spanish isn’t great/non-existent). She also runs the North Spain Developer user group!

Keith is a brilliant developer. He is in the top 0.23% of contributors on Salesforce StackExchange and has even developed on Force.com IDE package for Eclipse. Hats off to him he also has one of my favourite dev blogs too. “We’re not worthy” springs to mind.
