“Having our sales leader be someone with expertise in sales, HR, and account management is integral to our path of upskilling,” McCann Flynn said. “Our core team comprises former buyers — just like the people we sell to — who have built a platform to accelerate the growth potential for all employees. Lisa embodies our values, expertise, and resilience to ensure education for all.”

In the last three years, GoCoach has quadrupled the number of clients using its learning, workflow, and data platform to upskill people and drive clearly identified, behavior-change outcomes. Whealon will build the sales team to help more companies build a bridge toward continued growth for all.
