Thom Puiman Named Sitecore Strategy MVP 2026, the Only Recipient from Singapore

Vertis today announced that Thom Puiman, Director, Technology, AI & Architecture, has been recognised as a Sitecore Strategy MVP 2026, making him the only recipient from Singapore this year. This marks Thom’s second consecutive recognition, having also been awarded Sitecore MVP in 2024.

The Sitecore MVP programme recognises a select group of global experts who demonstrate outstanding expertise in Sitecore and actively contribute to the community through knowledge sharing and innovation. The Strategy MVP category specifically honours individuals who excel in data-driven context marketing and in leveraging Sitecore Experience Cloud to drive measurable business outcomes.

Thom’s recognition reflects his leadership in architecting connected digital ecosystems, embedding AI and data into personalisation strategies, and translating complex composable DXP environments into tangible business impact. This includes advancing the adoption of SitecoreAI, Sitecore’s next evolution of its digital experience platform, enabling organisations to operationalise AI across content, data, and customer journeys.

“Thom’s continued recognition as a Sitecore MVP is a strong validation of the depth of expertise we bring to our clients,” said Birendra Balakrishnan, Co-founder of Vertis. “Being named the only MVP from Singapore this year makes this achievement even more significant. It reinforces our commitment to delivering high-impact digital experiences, especially as AI becomes a core part of the modern experience stack.”

Over the past year, Thom has played a key role in advancing Vertis’ Sitecore capabilities across large-scale implementations, particularly within government and enterprise environments. His work increasingly focuses on helping organisations adopt AI-driven strategies through platforms like SitecoreAI, while ensuring strong architectural foundations and measurable outcomes.

“I’m honoured to be recognised as a Sitecore Strategy MVP,” said Thom Puiman. “This recognition reflects not just individual effort, but the collective work we are doing at Vertis to help organisations unlock the full potential of AI-driven digital experiences.”

While the MVP award recognises individual excellence, it also reflects Vertis’ continued investment in building deep technical and strategic expertise across its teams.
