NewIntelligence is proud to congratulate two members of our executive team, our President, Corey Mendelsohn, and Shawn Mandel, Partner, for being named as IBM Champions for Analytics in 2018!

An IBM Champion is an IT professional, business leader, developer, and educator who influences and mentors others to help them innovate and transform digitally with IBM software, solutions, and services.

These individuals evangelize IBM solutions, share their knowledge, and help grow the community of professionals who are focused on IBM offerings. IBM Champions spend a considerable amount of their own time, energy, and resources on community efforts—organizing and leading user group events, answering questions in forums, contributing articles and applications, publishing podcasts, sharing instructional videos, and more.

IBM Champions receive IBM Champion-branded merchandise, IBM Champion open badges, and invitations and discounts to IBM conferences. They are highlighted online and recognized at live events. In addition, they may be offered various speaking opportunities that enable them to raise their visibility and broaden their sphere of influence. They are recognized for the work they have done over the past year and supported and enabled with education and opportunities to do even more advocacy in the next year.

Corey was first named an IBM Champion for Analytics last year in 2017 and appeared in an interview featured in the IBM Champions in Action series.  Watch Corey speak about his role and his experience as an IBM Champion here.
