    Hello community!

    My name is Matt Lawson, and I manage Genesys' online community site. Glad you decided to join us!

    About me: I am from Tennessee and now live in North Carolina. As of March of 2023, I've been with Genesys and overseeing the community for five years! At the site's launch, we consolidated three separate community sites into one and now we have quite a few great communities/forums and a YouTube channel for you to explore! 

    Outside of Genesys, I was a double Literature Major at the University of Tennessee and I minored in cinema, so if you ever want to talk college football, scrumptious food, poetry, TV, or film, head over to Genesys Casual and let's rap. 

    I have a Blue Heeler named Marty, a local Fantasy Beer League, Movie Trivia Team, and a Pickleball Community. Looking forward to hanging out with you.


    Cheers,

    Matt

    Hey everyone!

    Name is Anthony Romero and feels like I've been active on the community for as long as I have been a Genesys employee (it's not quite that long, but does feel like it).

    About me: I'm a product marketing director for digital at Genesys, with a focus on the channel aspect of digital CX. I also oversee the current Genesys DX community.

    Outside of Genesys I majored in college for public relations, but fell pretty far from that field after working through startups that had me do a bit of everything and finding my calling in product marketing.

    Other than that, I'm a nerd's nerd and can probably geek people out on most things (from Marvel to Godzilla).

    Hey Everyone,

    Welcome to our Welcome Community 😃

    I'm Tracy Vickers and you will find me all over the WEM Community where I moderate and look after the Community that covers all thinks focused on our Workforce Engagement Management product suite.
    Have a question about WEM? Pop over to the community, join and ask away 🤔

    As for me, I live in Cheshire in a little village that is now famous as the village that Harry Styles grew up in - that certainly put us on the map!! I've been at Genesys for 15 years living in the world of WEM, prior to that I was in the travel industry since I left college (many moons ago!)

    Outside of work, I am also a bit of geek, playing compter games, doing puzzles, I love Yoga and Pilates (but I'm definitely not Zen). I have a Collie/Lab cross pooch called Penny who is 11yrs old and a Persian cross cat called Molly who is the ripe old age of 17and a Nannie to 2 gorgeous grandchildren - even though I don't look old enough 😜.

    Take Care
    Tracy

    Other fun facts: Have published a few children's books, I'm an VRBO host, love to karaoke, extreme choco-holic, coffee-coffee-coffee-please!!! I like weird-looking pets.The weirder/uglier the dog, the better!

While I'm not working, I'm always trying to learn something new in software development. And, while I'm not 'learning', I'm playing tennis, tennis, and more tennis! :) Nice to meet all of you!

    Hello! 

    My name is Natalie Nobles and I am a product designer at Genesys. I mainly work on the Genesys Knowledge Network, but also get to create some really fun graphics for Nicole and Matt in the community. 

    When not working, I enjoy spending time with my three dogs, Harvey, Amos and Peanut, listening to my extensive vinyl collection and checking out festivals in my local area. 

    Welcome to the community and have fun!

    I'm Clay. I lead the Customer Success Digital Transformation team and wanted to take a minute to show off how you can also use the Genesys Knowledge Network to interact with the Community. Here's an animated image that shows how you can use our unified search (search shows Community, Documentation, Training, and Video results, and more!), start a discussion, reply, check out the Q&A Show, and find related communities there as well.

    Hey Everyone!

    Paul Simpson here. I've been using PureConnect (formerly CIC) since the beginning of 2008 and Genesys Cloud CX / Genesys Cloud / PureCloud/ Orgspan / whatever they decide to call it this week since the very beginning!

    I recognize many names on the Community as I used to work for Genesys (and Interactive Intelligence) as an instructor, so probably "met" a fair few of you 😉
    I'm English, although I live in Indiana.

    I now work for a Partner in a Managed Services department and have learned as much about the product in the year since I left Genesys as I did in the 14 years or so I was there! (Yup, the way it's done in class doesn't always work in the real world - go figure!)

    I have a particular interest in the more "in the weeds" aspects of the products (Programming, API, Integrations and so on) as well as having a level of knowledge of Outbound dialers.

    In my little spare time - I am a husband and father, so...! I am trying to get a YouTube channel off the ground. Not very good at it yet, but I'm learning!

    I look forward to chatting with you all over the coming weeks, months and years 😁

    Hi Community! Glad to see you here!

    My name is Nico Feliciano and I am a member of the Genesys Customer Success organization with the designation of Product Specialist. You may have seen me going around the Genesys Cloud Community and as well as a host or participant in the different webinar events we run at scale.

    I am based in Dublin, Ireland and while the Guinness is great I am more into spirits - specifically the dark-colored ones with a preference on whisk(e)y. Slowly building a collection with the goal of tasting variants from all around the world. Very much a foodie as well and the only thing I like more than eating is cooking. Once I gather enough courage I'll start a food (v)blog on the side and get some content going.

    I also easily geek out. So if you want a sounding board for anything simply pique my interest and I'll be there with you for sure. Extra points if it is Genesys Cloud we are going to geek about!

    Hello world! 
    I'm Jason Mock, somehow both the "New Guy" (been here 8 month) and the "Old Guy" (not THAT old, but still) on my team. I have a dozen years experience with WFM under my belt, but things just won't stop changing, so I have to keep learning!  I'm joining the community to try and help this old dog learn some new tricks. Previous experience has taught me that other users are often the ones that break things in new and exciting ways, to get software to do things the original creators may not have intended, so I look forward to absorbing some of that knowledge!

    In my free time, I enjoy Home remodeling / wood working, reading, cooking, and occasionally acting in local Dinner Detective shows. 

    Looking forward to great things from/for this community!

    My name is Seean and I currently live in northeastern CT. I work at MAPFRE Insurance which is based out of MA. Here in the states we have been transitioning over to Genesys over the past year as part of our parent company's global initiative to get all of our companies onto Genesys worldwide. We actually just cut over our last call center to Genesys yesterday so it's pretty exciting to say the least.

    In my free time..... actually, I have 5 kids, I don't have any free time lol

    Hi Everyone,

    I wouldn't call myself a new-comer to Genesys Community !!

    My name is Ashiesh Sharma, I hail from the foothills of Himalayas, India. 
    I am a traveller; and work as a Network Designer at BT, for my travel expenses. ;)
    I find Genesys Community most active and fun, of all the communities I am part of. I enjoy all the trivia contests, discussions etc.
    Beside my usual 9-5 professional life, I like to post travel content (Travel_n_AllThat) and meet people living a different lifestyle than most.

    Not a Fun fact:
    I like to know everything about everything, but my memory fails me and eventually I do not remember much whatever I read.

    My name is Tim Bushell, and I work for a Genesys Parner named Inoria.  I've been a member of the Genesys Community for a few years now.

    I'm from Canada and have always lived in Ontario.  I've been involved with contact centers since 2005 and been a fan of the Genesys products about half of that time.  I moved over to the Genesys partner side of things in 2020 as it was always a career path of interest!  I love solving complex problems with technology and the contact center environment is an area of a business that is continually evolving!

    Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Lots of times there are discussions revolving around those types of genres AND sometimes we do themed Trivia Tower events that may peak your interest. We'd love to see you in those fun communities as well :)

    Hello Genesys Community!!

    My name is Kim Sain-King and I currently work with the ConvergeOne Genesys Support practice.  I started working with the PureConnect platform when I went to work for Interactive Intelligence and moved over to Genesys Cloud last year.  

    My family and I live in beautiful Greenville, SC and enjoy martial arts, hiking, biking, Lego and Pokemon.  We have 2 rescued giant Malamutes, Titan and Zeus who keep us busy.  

    This community has so much to offer and I am hoping to tap into that for myself, our C1 Team and our customers.  It is always fantastic to see how others are making the platform work for them.  

    Thanks!

    Here are my office mates Titan (Red) and Zeus.

    I have two wonderful daughters, the oldest is turning five next week. I am a nerds nerd, I like table top RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons amongst others, love boardgames, video games (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is where it is at right now, highly recommend), sci fi and just science in general really.

    Vaun here, in New Zealand but spent a good decade living in Vancouver, Canada.

    Been through the whole gamut of Contact Centres from being a CSR working the phones on Y2K night many years ago for our national carrier, to being supervisor, then jumped into my true love - the geeky techy side of it all lol and done work on Cisco, Mitel, Avaya, Genesys Engage for about 10-12 years and now Cloud - I even took at peek at that "product by that company which shall not be named" - A*S :) but here I am reasonably happy in G land

    I've also had roles from COBOL type language developer, Sharepoint/web administrator, surgical and medical procurement, musical/stage/theatre crew and even tap dancer if you go back far enough and want something incriminating :)

    Great community we've got ourselves here!

    Hello, Community! 

    I am from Florida, USA. Our finance company just started using Genesys December 2022. I am excited to learn more about Gamification. I am the Training and QA Supervisor and tasked with rolling out Gamification so I will be studying this extensively, hopefully mastering this product. I enjoy all things high-strangeness and paranormal! Here is a picture of my scaly dog, Zipp.

    Hey @Kara Johnson ! Welcome to the community. The Workforce Engagement Community will be a great place for you to dig into the topic of gamification. Also, the topic has been covered on the Community's YouTube Channel a few times. I remember specifically doing an overview in this episode of the Q&A Show. 

    I also love strangeness and paranormal, so if you ever want to suggest it as a topic for the Trivia Tower, please do so!!

    Zipp is a king!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm Monika and currently I'm realizing already the second migration to a Genesys solution in a company. Well, this might mean I'm breathing Genesys Cloud meanwhile! :D

    Outside the actual Genesys platform, I'm very into anything within a Customer Service division that could be enhanced with AI.

    Hi

    I work for Logan City Council in Brisbane Australia in the Networks and Telephony Team.  We use Genesys Cloud. I'm very new to Genesys and am still finding my way around Genesys. I would describe my experience level as novice with the product at this stage. But am pretty excited by the product. There is a lot that it can do. 

    Looking forward to building on my knowledge and finding out through the community about things we are not currently taking advantage of. 

    All the best

    Hello all,

    I am now working for Southwest Business Corp. (SWBC), I was employeed by Genesys as a Technical Account Manager (TAM) from 2016 to 2022 before moving to Professional Services in their Partner Services team  So I have been using what is now Genesys Cloud from its infancy to what it has become today.  Prior to that I worked for an Interactive Intellegence CIC premise customer.  Been a member of the community for a while as a TAM but now as a customer.

    I came on to SWBC inthe middle of their migration from PureConnect Cloud to Genesys Cloud so its been an interesting few months.

    About me, I am originally from the far reaches of Northern California, and now live in Indianapolis, my education is in the professional music industry (Audio Engineering and Record Lable Management) where I worked for about 4 years before moving to a more tech oriented career.  I love to cook, and tinker with Tech.

    Hi all!

    My name is Daniel Possekel and I am actually a Customer, not a Partner as being labeled right now :)

    I started more than 20 years back in the utilities sector and worked every since in or close to customer service. My passion has been the application of the little IT skills I knew at the time in order to improve our work in daily's business. Through that efforts I grew from an customer service agent through  some project management and finally ended up as a business administrator and product owner for or Genesys Engage implementation. Which we are about to leave behind soon :(

    Right now we are preparing for departure into Genesys Cloud, which is why I will stroll around here more often in the coming month ;)

    I m known to question things a lot, seeking for the WHY and best approach. So happy to have things about GC challenged a lot together with you. So, let's roll (after I finished my training of course).
