What do you enjoy most about being in the education industry?
I would add education and technology to that. I enjoy the ability to make an impact at both the personal level within the organization and also on a larger scale.
Given that this is a large company with significant reach, I think it's impressive that we work with over 80 arguably top universities and about 17,000 institutions. That kind of scale isn't commonly found in education.
When you consider technology and the fragmented educational industry, it's pretty awesome that we have this space. Knowing there's an opportunity to make such a large impact, given the dynamics between education and technology, is exciting.
