At Caylent, community is at the heart of how we show up in the @awscloud ecosystem, and today, we’re proud to celebrate the impact of our Champions Program. In 2025, the Caylent Champions Program brought together 12 exceptional Cayliens from across the continent who chose to invest their time, energy, and expertise into the AWS community. Our Champions shared knowledge, created space for others, and led with generosity — fully embodying Caylent’s core values. Because of their collective efforts, Caylent showed up in a big way across the community: 🎟️ 19 AWS community events supported 📢 36 Caylent speakers across User Group Meetups, Community Days, AWS Summits, AWS re:Inforce, and AWS re:Invent 🤝 236 attendees welcomed at community receptions 💬 Thousands of meaningful conversations with builders, customers, and future talent And while the numbers matter, the real impact was people growing. This year, we proudly celebrated: 🚀 David Victoria becoming an AWS Hero 🚀 Vini Ganancio stepping into a Community Builder and Ambassador role 🚀 Guille Ojeda receiving the Builder of the Year – LATAM Spanish award 🚀 Andres Moreno became a Summit speaker and a User Group Leader 🚀 7 first-time speakers, with 5 now meeting the requirements to become Community Builders None of this was about individual wins. It was about Champions supporting one another, stepping in when needed, and consistently choosing to show up for the AWS community. We’re deeply grateful to our Champions Program sponsors, Randall Hunt and Lisa Cohrs, for their trust and continued support in helping this program grow. We also want to thank former Caylent Champions Marco Cornejo and Hazel Saenz, as well as former team member Jonathan Silva, for the foundation they helped build. As we close out 2025, we’re excited to welcome four new Champions: Edwin Moedano, Leticia Albuquerque, Pablo Inchausti, and Chris Gonzalez. Looking ahead to 2026, our goal is clear: to be even more present, engaged, and invested in the AWS community. Make sure to keep an eye out for us at Community Days and AWS Summits — we’d love to connect.
