Hi Dan,

according to this KB article you can do the following:

1. Clone the Homepage Search widget 
2. In the cloned widget, change the client controller as follows

function() {

  /* widget controller */

  var c = this;

  c.data.greeting = 'Hi ' + scope.user.first_name; 

}

3. Change your Angular ng-bind value in the HTML template to data.greeting.

<h1 class="text-center text-4x m-b-lg sp-tagline-color" ng-bind="data.greeting"></h1>

Best regards,

Patrick

You could create a custom widget.

In the Server Script use :
data.firstName = gs.getUser().getFirstName();

In the Body Html template use

<div>Hi {{c.data.firstName}}, How can I help?</div>

Then add the widget to your page.
