Welcome to the Citrix Technology Professional (CTP) class of 2023!

Perrine Crampton

In 2018, we restructured the Citrix Technology Professional (CTP) program by partnering CTP members with Citrix product managers and engineers to form specialty product-focused groups. These smaller working teams have engendered greater trust and better communication between CTPs and product teams and, in the end, a better set of Citrix products. Learn more about the CTP program on the Citrix Community Page.

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for!

We are pleased to welcome and congratulate the newest members of the Citrix Technology Professional family. Learn more about the 63-member 2023 CTP class on the CTP awardees page.

Please join Citrix, the CTPs, and me in congratulating our newest CTP awardees:
