Today we’re launching #ImAPivot, a program to support the growing community of leading technologists that we have the pleasure to work with at Pivotal.
As our CEO Rob Mee defined a year ago: “Our community starts with employees, but also includes our customers and a diaspora of alumni.”
Pivotal’s company values—do the right thing, do what works, be kind—largely speak for themselves, and they embody the type of people Pivots strive to be every day. There is an underlying humility of knowing that it takes a balanced team to make meaningful progress. There are no hero developers here; Pivots know that building great software is a team sport.
The #ImAPivot community will help certain organizations working with us tell their technical story and grow their teams.

Pivots work at organizations where they are empowered to create impact and value for their business through software.
