Hi Everyone! 

I'm Andrea Gumz-Dietrich, a new Product Manager at Appspace. With over a decade of experience in Digital Communities and Workplaces, I have a deep passion for user engagement and adoption strategies anchored in my interest in human behavior, habits, and patterns. Throughout my career, I've played the role of a community administrator, program manager, content creator, and of course, an enthusiastic participant. I'm thrilled to bring my expertise to the Appspace community. Together, let's create innovative and engaging experiences!

I’m Nathalie, Communications Manager at Adisseo, where we create nutritional solutions for animal feed, mainly for livestock.

I’m also the proud admin of our digital workplace AppSpace, used by 3,000 colleagues worldwide. In December, we’ll celebrate its first birthday  and honestly, after one year, I can say: zero regrets!

It’s smooth, intuitive, and makes life so much easier.

Of course, change management is still part of the journey. We have about 1,000 users in France and, well… as true French people, there are always a few who love to complain! But adoption is going strong.

I’m really excited about this community  a great place to share tips, tricks, and ideas.

Looking forward to learning from you all and exchanging best practices!
