Hi everyone!
I am absolutely thrilled to introduce myself!
My name is Anat, and while I have been a part of the Waze Communities team for 5 years—and many of you might already know me as the Waze Traffic Events Program Lead—I am now stepping in to manage communities of my own! 
I am incredibly happy that this opportunity came my way.
Some of us may have already met at the EMEA Mega Meetup (MM) 2024 in Portugal! During my time there, I was so deeply impressed by your dedication to helping people drive safely and save time on the road, always with a strong local focus. Since map accuracy and driver support are huge passions of mine, I couldn’t be more excited to join forces with you.
My Focus Areas
Community Management: managing and supporting the wonderful communities of Poland and Hungary! 
Traffic Events Program: Continuing to lead the global Waze Traffic Events program and supporting you with everything related to road closures and traffic events.
Mega Traffic Events: Having the privilege of collaborating closely with TE marshals around the world to support massive global events like the Tour de France, FIFA World Cup, Giro d’Italia, Brazilian Carnival, and many more!

Why I 
Waze: It actually gets me everywhere on time! I love driving, and Waze is the ultimate co-pilot for the ride.

See you soon!
Anat
