Says Colin, “My whole career has been about organizational change, and I’ve been a huge fan of the Cognician approach since I first met the team in San Francisco in 2016. I was sold on the solution back then, and when approached more recently, it was an easy decision for me to join the team as an executive and investor. It’s a very exciting time for Cognician and the EdTech sector in general, and the growth potential is enormous. Organizations are facing unprecedented strategic and behavioral change challenges today. Issues such as climate change and sustainability, wellbeing, diversity, and cybersecurity are all high-priority topics at the board level where Cognician has helped clients to achieve dramatic change at a rapid pace, with tangible results. I’m very excited to be joining the team at this inflection point in the business.”
