The ERP/CRM Software Blogs have announced the appointment of Judy Van Der Linden as Member Success Manager, a newly created role designed to support the platform's growing community of Microsoft Dynamics partners. This strategic hire comes as digital marketing becomes increasingly competitive for ERP and CRM solution providers, highlighting the organization's commitment to maintaining high-touch relationships despite significant growth since its 2009 founding.
Co-founder Anya Ciecierski emphasized that creating this dedicated position was an intentional decision to ensure members continue to feel supported, connected, and valued as the community expands. "Even as we've grown, our values haven't changed," Ciecierski stated. "We still care deeply about the people behind the logos." This appointment addresses the challenge of maintaining personal connections in a scaling organization while recognizing the mounting pressure partners face in standing out in a crowded market with limited marketing resources.
Van Der Linden brings decades of specific experience within the Microsoft Dynamics ecosystem, including marketing roles at Microsoft Dynamics partners and previous work with Dynamic Communities, where she supported one of the most well-known partner communities in the ecosystem. Her familiarity with the community means many ERP/CRM Software Blog members won't be starting from scratch in their relationship with her. "Judy understands this community because she's been part of it," Ciecierski added. "She's been a member of the blogs, and she's helped build community at scale. Our members won't be starting from scratch with her, there's already trust there."
The personal connection between Van Der Linden and the organization spans more than two decades, with Ciecierski noting that Van Der Linden served as her mentor during her earliest days in the Microsoft Dynamics channel. "I've always admired her integrity, her marketing expertise, and the way she genuinely cares about people," Ciecierski said. "Bringing her onto the team feels like a full-circle moment and one that directly benefits our members." This historical relationship underscores the organization's emphasis on trust and continuity within the Microsoft Dynamics partner community.
As Member Success Manager, Van Der Linden will work directly with members to help them maximize their membership benefits, understand available opportunities, and navigate the evolving content and visibility landscape. The ERP/CRM Software Blogs operate on a collaborative publishing model that enables partners to share real-world insight, educate buyers, and strengthen long-term digital presence beyond traditional advertising. The platform currently supports nearly 200 Microsoft Dynamics partners globally across ERP, CRM, and industry solutions, focusing on organic reach, content performance, and community-driven marketing.
