Don’t Be a Spectator – Become a Qlik Luminary or Partner Ambassador! Applications Now Open!

A few years ago, I made a promise to myself to never be a spectator.

For me, it was about taking action for the environment—whether through big efforts like ensuring our customer and marketing events are sustainable or small daily habits like avoiding single-use plastics.

The key was being involved, sparking conversations, and making positive change happen.

Those words are at the very core of Qlik’s Luminary and Partner Ambassador Programs and I am delighted to announce that applications for 2025 are now open.

It takes a special kind of leader to become a Qlik Luminary or Partner Ambassador. With so many incredible benefits, it's no surprise that competition for these coveted spots is very high and I wish everyone the best of luck in the application process.

Anyone who has had the privilege to spend time with this group knows they’re made up of bold, talented individuals who are essential to their organizations and never hold back.

The overwhelming and spontaneous support and response to Heidi Cockram of Medair’s presentation at our recent meeting in Lund is just one example. As Mike Gulvin, Senior Data Visualization Analyst from BT and EE Consumer put it: “heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time.”

Take #WomenWhoQlik, as another example—an initiative founded by our Luminaries and Partner Ambassadors, Gwen Stamp (BMW), Priscila Papazissis (Vallourec), Steph Robinson (JBS USA) and Angelika Klidas (Business Data Challengers) to advance women in data and tech. It’s thriving and growing every day, showing what’s possible when people commit to leading, not just watching.

Why Apply? Becoming a Qlik Luminary or Partner Ambassador is more than recognition; it’s a chance to connect, share, and make an impact. A big focus this year is content creation and storytelling, showcasing the innovative stories around data, cloud/ SaaS and AI.

Don’t just hear it from me – hear from our current class about why they find the program so valuable both for themselves and their respective organizations
