Up-coming team changes

[Martin-O2]

Hey everyone,

As most of you know Lukas recently left his position on the O2 community 😞 and unfortunately for all of us Theresa will also be leaving to pursue an exciting new position managing a new community. 😭

Luckily I won't be left alone to rattle around the back end of the community like some old recluse in a deserted mansion, as we have 2 new community managers starting today!! 😅

Rather then do 3 separate posts I thought it would be simpler to lump all the team changes in together so I've left a space below for @TheresaV's leaving post and an introduction to our 2 brand new community managers, @lewys-gp and @RafaC! 😊 😎

A fond farewell to @TheresaV..... 

Hi everyone 👋

This week will be my last week on the O2 Community. Similar to Lukas, a new opportunity has arisen for me which I decided to take, so this Friday will be my last day. But, don’t worry, you will be in very good hands with two amazing new people joining the team - Rafael and Lewys.

I have had an amazing time on this community and it was such a pleasure getting to know you all better. I will be sad to leave this behind but I will be looking back at a lot of amazing memories. I learned a lot and laughed a lot and I wouldn’t want to miss this time and will remember all of you dearly.

Thank you for everything and all the very best to all of you ❤️

Lots of love,

Theresa

A big welcome to @lewys-gp! 

Hi, everyone! Lewys here. As you can maybe tell from the spelling of my name, I’m from Wales 󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Is that a personality trait? But in all seriousness, I was previously working in Marketing and Communications, so I’m excited to get started with Community work.

I like music (been to Glasto five times ⛺), reading and creative writing, all sport but mainly football and honestly, everything else in between. Always up for a chat so feel free to ask questions or message me about anything.

I’ve already had a look at the White Room Quizzes too, so am looking forward to participating and mostly losing in that. But in all seriousness, I am here to help! So, please don’t hesitate to message or mention me. Looking forward to getting to know you all better.

Cheers! 😄

And an equally big welcome to @RafaC! 

Hey everyone,My name is Rafa, I’m a new Community Manager and I’ll be here alongside Martin and Lewys to make sure this community remains a fun and reliable place for your questions, suggestions and requests as well as the good ol’ chit-chat.

So that you know a little bit about me, I’m very interested in technology and new gadgets, especially regarding their functionalities for creative work, as I am always fiddling around with making music and taking pictures. And of course creating is also about sharing so I’m always up for having a conversation about anything creative.

I love the great outdoors and I thoroughly enjoy walking in the city, hiking in the mountains as well as practicing a lot of sports without a roof above my head (which includes cycling, skateboarding and why not my beloved football and basketball). I also love taking photos and making videos during my activities.

And now that I’m here, I’m really excited to get to know everyone! I’m sure we’ll be able to learn a lot from each other and share great things (I already noticed that some of you love photography too). Can’t wait to hear from you guys! Please drop me a PM whenever you feel like it 🙂

See you around the community,
Rafa

Please join me in saying thank you and goodbye to @TheresaV and in welcoming our 2 new recruits, @lewys-gp and @RafaC to the mad house!!

After the surprise announcement of Lukas leaving, it comes as a shock that @TheresaV is also leaving.

I`d like to openly thank @TheresaV for all her help she has given me and other members of the Community since she joined 13 months ago. I wish you well in your new position but you will be missed on here.

To @lewys-gp - a warm welcome to the madhouse err Community.

So pleased you`ve already had a look at the White Room Quiz and look forward to you joining in.

To @RafaC - a warm welcome.

I`m probably the biggest technophobe on the Community and new technology is way over my head but I know that others have a keen interest in all things new. I do enjoy seeing the wonderful photos which our members post so look forward to your contributions.

To both of our "newbie" Community Managers, I hope you settle in soon and enjoy your time with us and for all of us to get to know each other on this wonderful Community.

p.s. @TheresaV . Hope you will get the chance to still stop by and say "Hi" and let us know how you are getting on.  

[lewys-gp]

Thanks very much, @Mi-Amigo. I'm sure @RafaC and I will enjoy every moment of the community 😅. And yes, I'm looking forward to the White Room Quiz! Interested to see how well I'll fare.
