High Five - December 2021, Henric Cronström

[Sue_Macaluso]

Every so often, we like to make sure we feature a stand-out Qlikkie. So, this December, we wanted to do something super special and honor someone known at Qlik as a legend, a superhero. He is employee number 3 and respected by all at the highest levels! So, we are pleased to announce this month's featured member is none other than Qlik Vice President of Products, Henric Cronström, referred to in Qlik and the Community as HIC.

Henric joined Qlik in 1994, right after the company was founded. At Qlik, he has had several different roles: He was product manager for QlikView for the first few years. He then moved into solution implementation and training.  After many years in the field, including a manager for the technical staff in QlikTech Germany, he returned to Sweden. There, Henric served as deputy manager for the development organization, then as a technical product advocate.

Henric is a principal product designer at Qlik. In his current role, his main task is to design features close to the engine: scripting and functions, etc. He also works with technical product communication, on blogs, in the press, and directly with large accounts and user groups. His area of expertise is advanced application development, scripting, and data modeling.

Henric has a doctorate in elementary particle physics from the University of Lund. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling with his wife and spending time with his two adult children. In addition, he loves photography and being out in nature.

Please join us by honoring Henric with a "High Five" by hitting the like button and commenting. Perhaps there's a memory you could share about a meeting with him! Let's show this extraordinary legend how much we appreciate him inside and outside the Qlik Community. @Melissa_Potvin @Jamie_Gregory @hic

 My understanding of Qlik has a fair bit to do with reading Henric's blog posts and Community replies.  Not only is there no QlikView/Qlik Sense question Henric can't answer - he also does a great job of sharing knowledge and answering questions. I'm only surprised he hasn't been recognized before this month.

Thanks @hic for the time dedicated to write all those blog post, they are very helpful to a deeper understanding on how the product works, uncover the potential QV has, giving some of those Whoa! moments when I was a newbie, and still when I was not so newbie. I also enjoyed the series about the history of evolution el Qv through it's versions... well, everything, I really appreciate your insights  and knowledge sharings.

Thanks Again!

The first time I played with Qlik, almost a decade ago,  Henric was already a legend. Congrats to him !
