We're thrilled to welcome @bengriffingolf, the world's 9th ranked golfer, to the AvePoint team. Starting today, he’ll represent AvePoint as our newest ambassador at the @WMPhoenixOpen . Ben’s comeback— stepping away from pro golf in 2021, returning stronger in 2023, and winning three PGA Tour events in 2025— is a masterclass in resilience. It's the same resilience businesses need to thrive in the AI era. We can’t wait to cheer Ben on this season. Good luck, Ben! 💪⛳
