Hello everyone,
I have a bittersweet announcement to share with you all today. Brett, your amazing Staff Community Manager, has decided that it’s time for him to take the next step in his career journey and move on from his role at Waze. I know I speak for all of us when I say that Brett will be immensely missed, but we are also incredibly excited for him as he begins this next chapter!
Brett’s deep passion for this community has left a lasting mark. He has been a phenomenal advocate for you, our editors, and he has officially passed the torch to me. I am absolutely thrilled to be stepping into the North America Community Manager role permanently!
Getting to attend this year’s NA Mega Meetup and meet many of you in person was a massive highlight for me. I look forward to supporting you, championing your feedback, and ensuring you have everything you need to keep making the map incredible.
