The Student Anaplanner of the Year was awarded to Lionpoint Consultant, Emily Poole, during the 2021 Anaplan Awards.
This year, the Anaplan Awards had their largest pool of nominees to select winners; over 100 people were nominated for just three awards. While having such a competitive pool made the decision process difficult, it is also a remarkable indicator of Anaplan’s growth as a platform of choice across global industries.
When Emily Poole graduated from of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) last year with a degree in psychology, she found a pandemic at its height and her career prospects at their lowest. It was while struggling to find a job post-graduation, Emily heard about the Anaplan Elevate, a program available to any learner interested in learning Anaplan Model Building skills. The program offers learners worldwide a flexible, virtual, cohort-based program that leads to model builder certification.
When Emily completed her program, she was ready and eager to enter the Anaplan ecosystem. Upon the completion of her program, Emily was hired as a consultant at Lionpoint, an Anaplan Partner, where she works in the North America Enterprise Performance Management team.
Lionpoint is delighted to have Emily on our team!
