Meet the Community - Introduce Yourself! 🤝

Andrew Lapidus

Hi everyone, and greetings from Meister's Vienna office! 🙂👋 My name is Andrew and I'm a Community Manager here at Meister.

I couldn't be more thrilled to help build this Community and create a space for Meister Users to collaborate, share best practices and shape the future of our products!

If you'd like, you can use this thread to introduce yourself and share a bit about what you do, where in the world you do it, and how you use the Meister Suite.

In fact, feel free to share any other information (or even a photo) you'd like other users to see! We're a very dog-friendly office here in Vienna, so extra points to anyone who posts a pic of one of their four-legged colleagues.

P.S.: An unseren deutschsprachigen Kolleg:innen: keine Sorge - bei Meister sind wir alle zweisprachig, also stellt euch gerne auf Deutsch vor!

In the meantime, check out this pic of our beloved Meister dog, Peanut:

Hey everyone!👋

My name is Miša and I'm Meister's Community Content Manager. I'm honored to be a part of the Meister Community from its birth 👶 and incredibly excited to see how it grows as more and more of you join.

I can't wait to meet you all, share MeisterHacks, pass on inspiration and develop a tight knit network of productivity-loving, Meister-design-appreciating, feature-fanatic faces.

So please join in - introduce yourselves below, add a picture, maybe even embolden a few words if you're feeling experimental, and I'll see you again very very soon! 💕

Caleb Dorfman

Hi all!

My name is Caleb, and I am a Customer Success Manager here at Meister. This means that it's my responsibility to make sure you, our users, are getting the most out of the products we offer!

I am beyond excited to share some pro-tips, cool ideas I see in use, and to create a loving community of users sharing their best-practices.

In my free time, you can find me traveling to far corners of the world, trying new food, or playing with our two Peruvian (former) street dogs!

Thomas Mayerhofer

Hallo zusammen!

Ich werde mich auch einmal kurz in der Runde vorstellen. ☺️

Mein Name ist Thomas und bin Customer Success Team Lead hier bei Meister.

Seit etwas mehr als 3 Jahren bin ich nun bei dem wundervollen Unternehmen tätig und kann es kaum erwarten, euch jetzt auch über unsere neue Community-Plattform kennenzulernen. Hier können wir uns miteinander austauschen, ihr könnt Best Practices miteinander teilen, und wir können gemeinsam den Weg für die Zukunft gestalten.

Ich bin sehr gespannt, welche erstaunlichen Ideen von euch kommen und was ihr mit uns allen hier in der Community teilen werdet! Sei es, wie ihr unsere Produkte im täglichen Leben verwendet oder welche Funktionen ihr gerne in Zukunft sehen würdet. Gemeinsam können wir so unsere Produkte noch besser gestalten und bestimmt auch ein oder zwei Dinge voneinander lernen. 😊

Hello team, my name is Andres D'Andrea, and I'm a Meister Advocate since 2021 when Raphaela Brandner introduced me to the Meister Partner program.

I'm located in México, my audience is mainly in Spanish for Spain and Latin America, and I'm super passionate about 2 things:

• Spreading the Kanban methodology as a way of life
• Teaching people how to market their products and services through content

MeisterTask, MindMeister, and more recently, MeisterNote have been key assets in that regard.

I'm pleased to join you guys, and even more to help you in any way you see fit.

Since you love dogs, I'm attaching the coolest dog I've ever seen in my life. Enjoy!

P.S. can I post in Spanish for the Spanish speaking members inside this forum?

Best regards from México.

Dieter Hofer

Ein herzliches Hallo aus Oberösterreich♥️!

Mein Name ist Dieter Hofer und ich bin seit April 2020 Expert Partner und natürlich begeisterter Anwender von Meistertask und Mindmeister. Nachdem nunmehr seit einiger Zeit MeisterNote zur Verfügung steht, nutze ich auch dieses tolle Tool täglich. Das geniale für mich ist neben der Einfachheit, die Übersicht und die zuverlässige Verfügbarkeit der Meister Tools.

Ich freue mich auf regen Austausch hier in der Community, auf viele tolle Erfahrungen und Aha-Erlebnisse, da ich bei weitem noch nicht das volle Potential ausschöpfe. Also kann ich selbst als alter Profi im Digital Business bestimmt noch was dazulernen.

Außerdem kann ich vermutlich auch dem Einen oder Anderen ein wenig weiterhelfen, da ich bei meinen Unternehmern und Selbständigen immer mit Fragen zu diversen Tools und Techniken konfrontiert werde.

And if you have any questions in english, please do not hesitate to ask me. Usually I understand a lot and if not, I´ll ask my lady, because she`s teaching Business English. So you see, we´ll find a way to talk or write 😉

Cathy Fanning

Hi Everyone!

Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. My name is Cathy.

I've been involved in the Partner Program since June 2020 and watched it grow and develop. Really looking forward to getting to know everyone in the Meister community.

I've been involved in IT for quite a few decades and training for about the same time. I run a Boutique IT Training company specializing in Microsoft and Project Management Online Training.

Congratulations to everyone at Meister for creating the online community.

p.s. Best part of my day has to be morning coffee, latte or expresso.

Regards Cathy 😊

Raphaela Brandner

Hi everyone!

My name is Raphaela and I lead the partnerships team at Meister. I've been with the company for nine years and have always loved connecting with our partners and customers to learn more about how they use the Meister tools and to exchange ideas.

I'm very excited about this new platform and hope that it will help us create a thriving community and facilitate knowledge sharing on a completely new level!

Jana Ingendahl

Hey everyone!

My name is Jana and I'm a co-founder of a young company in Würzburg driving data-driven sustainability.

I had the honor introducing the tools Mindmeister and Meistertask at my first employer and became a huge fan 😁 therefore I immediatly thought about using those tools again the moment we startet planning and organizing the new company!

The first 10 minutes of my day always start with coffee, sport & my Kanban board (best rhyme ever...)😂

I am thrilled to be part of the new community and looking forward to any discussions, questions or any kind of conversations 😊

P.S.: unfortunately I don't have a dog... yet... 😉

Andrew Lapidus

Wow - so great to see so many new faces from users and partners (and their four-pawed companions 🦴) in the community! 👋

As you all belong to the pioneer group of community members in this earliest phase, we'd love to hear more about what you'd be most interested in seeing in this community space: Feature requests and early looks at product roadmaps? Q & A's with other users? Best practices and project/mind map templates?

if you get a chance, go ahead and let us know in this thread what you'd like to see in this thread.

Thanks, and have a great weekend everyone!

Best- Andrew

Hello new and wonderful community!👋

My name is Jelena and I'm a Product Manager at Meister. I'm very excited for this space and happy to be part of it in an early stage.

Arthur Jones

Hello All,

My name is Arthur Jones. I am based in America and reside in Tucson, Arizona.

For many years I was a technology salesperson.

One of the skills I learned during my tech sales career was how to take an intangible idea and make it real by creating a visual story in real-time on a whiteboard.

Whiteboards became my go-to for engaging my prospects and customers in brainstorming ideas or working to gain alignment about a job to be done.

Then I discovered digital mind mapping (my introduction to digital mind mapping tools goes back nearly 20 years).

I've been a happy MindMeister user for over ten years and part of the ambassador program for three.

I look forward to joining the conversation, keeping up with what's new at MeisterLabs, and learning from each of you what works for you when you present MindMeister solutions to the people in the markets you serve.

Cheers!

Arthur Jones

Hey there 👋

My name is Fiona and I'm a Customer Success Manager (CSM) here at Meister for 1.5 years now. My job is to make sure Meister users are having a great experience with our products (AKA achieving "success"... geddit? 😏)

Within the CS team, I specialise in the Education sector, meaning I work with lots of schools and unis and I understand what makes you learners and educators tick 🤓. Feel free to check out my academia-inspired MindMeister map and MeisterTask project to get an idea of how Meister products can help you get laser focused with your uni work (and write a comment if you feel so inlcined!)

One of my favourite parts of the job is speaking directly with our users and getting to know them. I also love exploring the different ways MeisterTask, MindMeister and MeisterNote can be adapted for my customers goals and seeing the creativity of our users in setting up their innovative maps, super-efficient projects, and beautiful notes.

I'm delighted to see this community grow and to #workbeautifullytogether!

Sláinte,

Fiona
