Meet the community team 

We’re thrilled to be able to welcome you to the latest and greatest version of the Network VIP community. If you are newer to the community – we figured it’s important we introduce ourselves as you’ll be seeing our names pop up repeatedly. 

Anna Kim
Sr Manager of Community & Customer Marketing (BlueCat)

Hi Everyone! I’m Anna, the Sr. Manager of Community and Customer Marketing here at BlueCat. My job is to manage the community team and oversee the big picture work that we do. I am the liaison between the community and the rest of BlueCat, so I’m often found meeting with other teams to discuss how we can better support our community and our customers. I am working with Moni behind the scenes and am here if you need me! 

In my personal time, I love spending time with my family, and I’m always talking about my two chihuahua mixes, Ginny and Maisy, who bring so much joy into my life. I also love traveling, reading, and playing video games – I'm a huge Zelda fan. I look forward to meeting you all on the NVIP Community!
 

Moni Veronese
Marketing Specialist, Community & Customer Marketing (BlueCat) 

Hey! I’m Moni! I manage all day-to-day operations of Network VIP! My focus is on making sure Network VIP is running smoothly, interesting conversations are being had, and that the community is a thriving space for you all to get together and connect. I’m the person to reach out to if you need to be directed to someone, have questions, or have a suggestion on how we can make the community better. My goal is to make the community the best it can be, which means I am not only not scared of feedback, but I encourage it. 

Outside of my time working on community at BlueCat – I love to travel and am a huge espresso nerd. Yes, I weigh my coffee beans… I love learning about coffee, making it meticulously at home, trying various coffee shops and roasters in my city, and convincing myself that this attempt to make latte art will be different. I’m based out of Toronto, Canada. If you’re ever visiting or live in the area, please don’t hesitate to reach out to get my café recommendations – I’ll be ecstatic to share! If you’re not into coffee let me know your favorite trip you been on recently. I love to trade recommendations and travel trips.
