Speaker's Profile

I am the CEO of Skillshare. We believe that learning is transformative - individually, socially, economically - and our mission is to connect life-long learners everywhere and build a more creative and prosperous world.

Before joining Skillshare, I was the CEO of Visually, an online marketplace for creative work that was acquired by ScribbleLive in January 2016. Prior to Visually, I was the VP of Operations, Enterprise and International for oDesk (now Upwork), the world's largest marketplace for online work.

I'm a father of four amazing girls and spend most of my non-working hours driving them around in circles to their various activities. In my rare moments of free time, I enjoy surfing, fishing, running and anything outdoors.
