We’re proud to announce that Matthew McQueeny, Vice President of Growth at iMedia, has been named a 2026 Sitecore Most Valuable Professional (MVP), marking his fourth time earning this prestigious recognition.
The annual MVP award from Sitecore honors professionals who make significant contributions to the global Sitecore community. Matthew’s continued recognition reflects years of hands-on leadership, real-world insight, and an unwavering commitment to helping organizations maximize the value of their digital experience platforms.
Recognized for Real-World Impact
The 2026 Sitecore MVP class includes more than 200 professionals worldwide across customers, partners, and independent practitioners. MVPs are selected for their measurable impact on the ecosystem, from technical leadership and public knowledge sharing to early product feedback and reusable implementation frameworks.
MVPs are chosen through a rigorous two-month evaluation process led by more than 100 community reviewers. The year-long program includes private forums, direct collaboration with Sitecore product teams, regional meetups, and the annual MVP Summit.
This year’s recognition comes at a pivotal time as organizations accelerate AI-driven digital transformation through Sitecore AI. MVPs play a critical role in translating emerging capabilities into practical strategies that teams can implement with clarity and confidence.
“Being named a Sitecore MVP for the fourth time is incredibly meaningful to me,” said McQueeny. “It’s recognition of the work I care most about, sharing what’s working in the real world, helping teams move faster with confidence, and giving back to a community that’s given me so much. I’m grateful to keep learning alongside this group as Sitecore AI accelerates what’s possible.”
Eric Stine, Chief Executive Officer at Sitecore, added:
“Congratulations to the 2026 MVPs on their achievement. Learning directly from customers, partners, and practitioners has guided Sitecore through 25 years of innovation and partnership, from the first websites to AI-driven experiences. The breadth, longevity, and capability of this ecosystem reflect the strength of the Sitecore platform and brand as our customers face new opportunities in the world beyond their website.”
