The Blue Acorn iCi team is proud to announce that Jelica Ariganello, Senior Software Engineer, has been recognized as an Adobe Commerce Champion for the Class of 2025-2026. This is Jelica’s first time receiving this award, recognizing her active contributions within Adobe’s ecosystem and her innovative use of Adobe tools to push the boundaries of scalable, modern digital experiences.

Adobe Champion Program Explanation

According to Adobe, the Adobe Champion Program recognizes individual product experts from around the world who are passionate about sharing their expertise and best practices to support fellow customers, accelerating their personal and professional growth by engaging in industry and thought leadership opportunities, and collaborating with Adobe product teams to inform future product features and enhancements.

Starting over a decade ago, and originating from a grassroots effort to recognize top Adobe Marketo Engage customers, the program now expands to include Adobe Analytics and Adobe Experience Manager. Each year, a cohort of expert practitioners submit applications to be selected to participate in the Champion Program. Chosen individuals are afforded a prestigious opportunity and platform to learn and grow from fellow product experts and internal Adobe product leaders.

How Was She Selected?

Adobe judges hand-select individuals who they believe will be ambassadors for its products and fit its criteria. Jelica Ariganello was selected because of her leadership in architecting and designing a headless platform that integrates seamlessly with Adobe Commerce. Her work not only showcased deep technical expertise but also aligned with Adobe’s own direction toward SaaS-based and headless solutions. She has guided projects that connect Adobe Experience Manager with Adobe Commerce, bridging the two platforms to create richer, more unified customer experiences.

What It Means To Jelica

“I’m incredibly honoured to be selected as a 2025–2026 Adobe Commerce Champion. The program is a chance to collaborate with some of the brightest experts and the Adobe product team - an experience that’s both humbling and energizing. I see it as a chance to keep bridging innovation with practical solutions and to support peers, clients, and the community in getting the most out of Adobe Commerce,” Ariganello stated.
