We’re proud to recognize 15 Perficient colleagues as 2026 Coveo MVPs. This distinction reflects the depth of expertise across our teams and the steady leadership they bring to complex digital experience work.

Each MVP has made a clear impact through their craft, collaboration, and contributions to the broader Coveo community. Their recognition speaks to the quality of the work they deliver and the value they create for our clients and partners.

Meet Our 2026 MVPs

Perficient’s Strategy & Growth MVPs

Coveo Strategy & Growth MVPs are recognized leaders who shape how we go to market with Coveo through strategic collaboration, co-selling, and driving measurable business growth. Our four MVPs share their thoughts on what this designation means to them, to our partnership with Coveo, and what they are looking forward to in 2026.

Reflections from our 2026 Technical & Implementation MVPs

Every year, the Coveo MVP program shines a spotlight on individuals who go above and beyond to deliver meaningful, real‑world impact with powerful search technology. This year’s newly recognized Technical & Implementation MVPs exemplify what it means to combine deep expertise, constant curiosity, and a genuine commitment to the Coveo community.

As partners, we see firsthand how challenging it can be to implement search and relevance at scale—balancing business goals, technical complexity, and ever‑evolving customer expectations. That’s why recognizing the people who consistently rise to that challenge feels especially important. We asked our new MVPs what this recognition means to them, and their reflections speak volumes about the passion and dedication behind their work.

For Ashwini S Bhave, earning MVP status for the first time is both a personal and professional milestone. She sees the recognition as “a proud moment that recognizes years of hands‑on implementation, continuous learning, and seeing the impact of Coveo projects in real environments.” Being named a Coveo MVP, Ashwini shared, “motivates me to keep pushing myself to build, innovate, and contribute even more to the Coveo community.”

That drive to push the platform further is echoed by Paul Anderson, who approaches every project with a clear goal: delivering “the best Coveo search experience possible” for his employer and clients. Having his work recognized at an MVP level is deeply validating for Paul. It reinforces the idea that “having my Coveo work recognized as MVP‑level accomplishments is quite validating” and encourages him to keep pushing boundaries and exploring how far Coveo can go.

For Randeep Singh, the MVP award is both an honor and a commitment. Being selected for the program affirms the quality and impact of his work and strengthens his excitement about what comes next. Randeep looks forward to continuing his collaboration with Coveo, helping bring leading‑edge search capabilities to customers and enabling experiences that feel effortless, intuitive, and intelligent.

Community plays a central role in the MVP experience, and Ryan Weeber highlights that aspect clearly. For Ryan, this recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the work he truly enjoys—“solving hard problems and sharing knowledge with a great community.” As he looks ahead, Ryan is excited to “look forward to another year of building smarter experiences with Coveo.”

Looking toward the future is also top of mind for Shweta Zilpe, who sees the MVP award as an important milestone in her journey. The recognition inspires her to keep raising the bar and striving for excellence in every implementation. Shweta is energized by the opportunities ahead, especially the chance to help shape smarter, more meaningful experiences for customers as we move into 2026 and beyond.

Together, these MVPs represent the best of what makes the Coveo partner ecosystem so strong: technical excellence, customer‑first thinking, and a genuine desire to learn and share. Their recognition is not just a celebration of past accomplishments, but a signal of the innovation and impact still to come.
