What is your background with Mautic?
I'm a contributor to Mautic since 2023. Apart from contributing, I’ve provided support for users from Trials since its beginning and implemented Mautic for large organizations, like EASA and multinationals across Europe, so I know how it’s used day to day by marketing teams. I’ve also worked in companies that are part of the Mautic community.

What contributions have you made to Mautic?
In 2023 I proposed redesigning the Mautic interface on the roadmap, and I’ve led the UX/UI Tiger Team since then. Most of my work is in core, through pull requests (more than 400 merged) from Mautic 5-8 (features, enhancements, fixes, cleanups). I also contributed to the user + dev documentation, product decisions, creation of the project website, guide/introduce other contributors to the community (hacktoberfest) and shape proposals to get funds for the product development.

What is your vision for Mautic?
I spent years answering RFPs that inevitably ended up with in-depth comparisons with the other marketing automation tools that had been making Mautic proposals be left aside. My goal is to level the tool up to a point where we can grow it sustainably by being what organizations need, many more of them start using it and contribute back over time.

What do you bring to the Mautic Community Council?

Well, I can see the same problem from 3 sides... marketer using Mautic every day + large organization deciding to adopt it + contributor who has to build it in a way that stays healthy for years. I also bring a Latin American view to a Council that’s mostly European, which helps since we want the community to grow outside Europe too.

Why should community members vote for you?

Because I’ve been doing the work since 2023 and plan to keep doing it, with or without a seat. What it changes is that people who use Mautic get someone in the room who's both a user and developer + who keeps asking what the person using it will see.
