Have you had experience, successful or otherwise, promoting #rust within your company? Especially to other teams and departments once you’ve started using it in your own team?
I would love to hear what you think went well and what you would have done differently in hindsight.

In every team you need people who are excited about Rust and help others get productive. External consultants can help analyze the situation, but the team needs to do be willing to put in the work.
The second point is that every successful project needs a catalyst: an element, that significantly accelerates change within an organization. From my experience, better performance is rarely a good catalyst for organizations. Good catalysts for Rust are robustness, scalability, or reduced operational costs.
These are the things that make or save organizations money and so they see the business value in that.
When I consult companies, I always look for these two factors. In case one is missing, I advise against using Rust. If both factors are clearly present, magic happens.
