Meet Your Perficient 2022 IBM Champion
We know we have great thought leaders here at Perficient, but we’re always proud when our experts are recognized by others for the work they’re doing in the community. And Eric Walk is no exception.
He has worked closely with our partner IBM for many years and is honored to be named an IBM Champion this year.
“Over the last 11 years, I’ve been working closely with IBMers and IBM technologies to solve our client’s problems and improve their information management and business processes,” Walk said. “Being an IBM Champion is not just recognition of my work to support various IBM product teams with feedback and go-to-market approach, but also the hard work across the whole Perficient family continuing to support and deploy IBM’s market leading solutions.”
For him, this is a great opportunity to grow his reach as a thought leader and to learn from the other Champions and the broader IBM Community.
