Community Manager, graduated in Chemical Engineering, but almost future astronomer. Passionate about the power of unique experiences, human connections and education. I've worked with women's empowerment in Peru with AIESEC, I'm a volunteer leader and director at CISV and I was a co-founder of the startup "Flow | School for life". I was able to see the power of collective transformation and I learned about managing projects, people and communities. In these past (almost) 5 years working professionally with ​​communities, I was also able to create bridges with the areas of marketing, branding, product, content and innovation. The focus for me is finding the match between the interests of all stakeholders in a community working on culture and engagement, through building experiences, promoting connections and learning and always measuring success through data analysis and metrics. My best skills are critical analysis, problem solving and creating new projects/processes based on data, as well as facilitating connections.

I am Rosanna Lopes, a dedicated community co-creator and nurturer with a rich background in affiliate marketing and a deep passion for building meaningful connections. My journey into community work began with my extensive experience as an Affiliate Marketing Manager, a role that honed my skills in relationship and partnership-based marketing. This experience taught me the importance of building lasting relationships and creating win-win opportunities, a skill I now bring to community co-creation and nurturing. One of my most significant milestones was co-founding and growing the Lisbon Digital Nomads meetup group, which attracted over 20,000 members on Meetup.com and hosted weekly events with over 200 attendees during the summer. This endeavor not only solidified my understanding of community dynamics but also fueled my passion for creating spaces where people can connect and thrive. I am passionate about intentional communities and have visited several, including Tamera in Portugal, where I completed their month-long Community Course, Piracanga in Brazil, and various communities in Mexico. These experiences have deepened my understanding of living in harmony with nature and each other, and they continually inspire my work. I've extensively trained myself on the topics of relating and community, and I've completed courses such as "Working with Conflict in Community" "Systems change" "Community building" etc. These courses have equipped me with tools that are essential for nurturing resilient and cohesive communities. I was born into two cultures, Dutch and Portuguese. I've lived for 4 years in Barcelona, 4 in London, and have been nomadicly for nearly a decade. I have a keen interest in cultures and sub-cultures and am very curious to our different views on what "Normal" means. I believe this helps me in the way that I work and approach people. My unique skills include creating and nurturing opportunities, event planning, promoting initiatives, and partnership marketing and I have a keen sensitivity to group dynamics, allowing me to adjust and respond effectively. I excel at bringing people together, online and offline, and fostering a sense of belonging. I can help where others might struggle by leveraging my diverse background to bridge gaps between individuals and groups, facilitating clear communication, and nurturing a supportive environment. I am committed to helping businesses and organizations create thriving, inclusive communities where everyone feels valued and connected. Let's work together to build communities that are not only successful but also deeply fulfilling and transformative for all involved.

My origin story begins in Learning & Development where I first heard of online communities in the professional sense, delving into social learning and subsequently launching and managing the first internal community at one of the UK's largest general insurers. A move into the world of SaaS saw me build a community from the initial beta program of 50 members to a thriving, engaged, connected community of over 25K members when I left seven years later. Bringing value to members in a wide variety of ways, working cross-functionally internally to bring the best content possible, and building and nurturing relationships with the people inside the community, both online and at real-world, analog, in-person events, made this the go-to place for customers of the company it was from. Having then been involved in building the foundations for a brand new community at one company, followed by being brought in to enhance and deepen an existing community at the next, growing membership by 62% through a new on-boarding program, I was made redundant in both occasions bringing me to now looking for my next opportunity and new community members to bring value to and build relationships with. I would say the skills I bring to a role and it's community come with the experience of run great community events programs, the ability to truly work cross-functionally internally to ensure that the very best people are involved in bringing value to members. I'm very people focused, and in this case, very customer-focused. Customer centricity is super important to me and is my ultimate starting point and ending point in community building.

I’m a community consultant who is driving organizational transformation through communities. Through Connecteur, a certified Meta Community Management’s company, I provide consultancy for community strategy development, and train community leaders and managers. Being an expert in communities of practice, I have over a decade of experience in the content field, project management, and program management, in working with organizations, entrepreneurs, and businesses around the globe in online and offline platforms. I have previously worked with Meta, Entrepreneurs’ Organization, Forbes, and others. I'm a tech savvy, self-starter and love challenges. In my consulting I use my own methodology for community building, as well as creativity - to make sure your community will reach its goals!

I'm a skilled community manager with over 4 years of professional experience on multiple online platforms. I have a deep understanding of internet message boards and trends across various social media websites. I'm also happy to say that I have strong writing, editing, and public communication skills perfect for diverse global audiences. I'm adept at working in high-pressure environments with strict deadlines and multiple deliverables. I'm open to remote, hybrid, or in-person roles, and am open to relocation if needed. I originally graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a B.S. in International Relations and Politics, but I eventually discovered that my true passion lay elsewhere. I've been a volunteer moderator for various communities across Reddit, Discord, Twitch, YouTube, and other sites for the last 12 years. Eventually, I realized that I was really good at building and managing communities, and decided to pursue it as a career. Over the last few years, I've helped manage communities for companies such as Stack Overflow, Wizards of the Coast (specifically D&D Beyond), and Rooster Teeth Productions. I look forward to seeing where my career takes me next!

Hi there, I'm Jona 👋 🌻 I'm all about creating lively and welcoming developer communities, and I'm a big advocate for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Throughout my career, I've been dedicated to encouraging collaboration and engagement, making spaces where people can freely share their knowledge and ideas. I specialize in developing and implementing effective community strategies. This includes organizing large-scale events that bring folks together and coordinating various projects and initiatives. I'm passionate about empowering individuals to contribute and thrive in an open and supportive environment. One of my strengths is in creating ambassador programs that amplify community voices and create a network of passionate advocates. These programs not only enhance community outreach but also contribute to the growth and sustainability of the ecosystem. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are at the core of my values. I actively engage in DEI discussions and initiatives within the tech community, fostering an environment where everyone feels heard and valued. Through my work, I aim to break down barriers and create opportunities for underrepresented groups to thrive in the world of technology. Event planning is another area where I bring my expertise. Whether it's a small, focused meetup or a large-scale conference, I approach every detail thoughtfully to ensure a positive and enriching experience for all participants. If you're searching for someone genuinely passionate about fostering developer communities, committed to FOSS principles, and with a proven track record in community strategy, ambassador programs, mentorship, DEI, and event planning, then I'm thrilled to bring my skills and enthusiasm to your organization. Let's create something amazing together! 🌻

I'm an experienced content marketer and copywriter with a decade in various roles, including in-house, agency, and consulting, primarily in consumer/B2B tech. My infatuation with communities started back in late 2020 when I was a fractional content lead at House of Wise (an affiliate-led DTC brand). I helped amplify the stories of members through written content, a newsletter, and a Clubhouse audio series interviewing high-achieving women and founders throughout the following year. I continued to build a strong network and made connections during my consulting years as DTC Mom. After encouragement from a few former clients turned friends, I founded a women's e-commerce Slack community with 70 members (and counting!). I currently lead marketing and partnerships for an e-commerce SaaS company but looking to be in a full-time community role. I'm a lifelong super-connector, writer, storyteller, and Enneagram nerd with an infectious personality. I keep the #random channel lively but stay organized, championing those working with me.

With over 15 years experience, I provide leadership and mentoring to community teams, to bring their community to a higher level. Strategy & programs, metrics and reporting, influential communications - we build holistic connections across the business, identifying where a community can provide deeper value and impact for the business and community members. We prove impact with data. Always learning, I have a diverse and broad toolkit to offer; Design Thinking, CX certified, ICF certified professional/personal coach. I build safe spaces for teams where they can be themselves fully, where we challenge each other, grow and create significant impact; 1 + 1 = 3 when you do it well! I have spoken on various community topics at TSIA, Dreamforce, CMX, and other conferences.

Former Director of Community at Huffington Post with vast experience in technology, nonprofit and media. Global speaker who fosters connections and creates impact. A purposeful storyteller.
