We're excited to announce updates to the Drupal Drupal CMS leadership team that will enhance our product, marketing, and user experience capabilities.

Nick Koger becomes Marketing Lead

Nick Koger will take over as Drupal CMS's Marketing Lead, replacing Suzanne Dergacheva. Since joining the Drupal Association as a Product Marketer seven months ago, Nick has assisted in launching Drupal CMS by creating web content, social media posts, and managing paid advertising. He also launched our global event marketing strategy to promote Drupal to external audiences worldwide.

We thank Suzanne and her team at Evolving Web for their valuable work on helping to launch our new brand and initial marketing pages. Suzanne is stepping back from day-to-day involvement to focus on Evolving Web but will remain active in the Marketing Committee. Evolving Web will continue to contribute to design and content strategy improvements on Drupal.org.

Emma Horrell appointed as UX Research

Lead To strengthen our focus on user experience, we've created a new leadership role: UX Research Lead. Emma Horrell will step into this position alongside Cristina Chumillas, who continues as Product Design Lead.

Emma's work on researching target audiences, defining their needs and expectations, and testing new features has shaped Drupal CMS's user experience. Her research expertise will help us optimize Drupal CMS for marketers. Thanks to the University of Edinburgh for supporting Emma's contributions and to Lullabot for supporting Cristina's work.

Adam Globus-Hoenich named Drupal CMS Lead Architect

Adam Globus-Hoenich has been central to Drupal CMS from the beginning – creating the original prototype at DrupalCon Portland and serving as the main committer since. His technical leadership has been crucial, and we're formalizing his role as Drupal CMS Architecture Lead. In this position, Adam will continue to work with Tim Plunkett, our Technical Lead.

We appreciate Acquia's support in giving Adam and Tim the time to drive Drupal CMS forward.

Looking ahead

These leadership changes are already in effect. Each person brings something special to the team that will expand Drupal's reach.

I'm sharing this news before DrupalCon Atlanta so you can meet our new leadership team there, understand the context for upcoming Drupal CMS presentations, and chat with them directly about where Drupal is headed.

This update builds on our previous leadership team announcement. Other leadership roles continue unchanged, and this announcement reflects our ongoing commitment to strengthening the Drupal CMS initiative with the right expertise.
