Nerdio Valued Professionals
The IT experts who evangelize, enable, and advise.
What is a Nerdio Valued Professional?
The Nerdio Valued Professional (NVP) program recognizes respected IT professionals whose expertise, experience, and contributions make a meaningful difference across the IT community. From sharing practical guidance and technical insights to speaking at industry events, NVPs help fellow IT professionals learn, overcome challenges, and succeed.
As part of the program, NVPs have opportunities to connect and collaborate with peers and Nerdio leaders, share candid product feedback, and contribute their expertise to conversations shaping the future of end-user computing.
What NVPs do
Evangelize
Share technical expertise, insights, and real-world experiences through industry events, articles, webinars, podcasts, and community conversations to educate and inspire fellow IT professionals.
Enable
Help peers, customers, and partners navigate technical challenges by sharing practical guidance, proven approaches, and lessons learned from real-world experience.
Advise
Collaborate with Nerdio product teams by sharing candid feedback, participating in roadmap discussions, and helping evaluate new features and capabilities.
Who NVPs are
Consultants, architects, engineers, and recognized practitioners with sustained influence in the IT community and a track record of teaching it. Today there are 30+ NVPs across 11+ countries, with expertise spanning Nerdio Manager for Enterprise, Nerdio Manager for MSP, Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Intune, and more. Many also hold other industry recognitions.
