Udacity is a proven leader in online education. Udacity is disrupting the world of higher learning by delivering global access to a cutting-edge, high-quality education at a fraction of the cost of traditional higher learning. Udacity pioneered Nanodegrees which are fast becoming the new credential signalling to employers and technology workers that the holder has cutting edge skills in high-demand categories. I joined the company as COO in early 2013. The company had no revenues and no consumer traction. In the next 5 years, we introduced OVER 30 Nanodegree programs, scaled bookings to a $100 million run rate, launched operations in 5 major international markets and raised $130 million from brand name venture capital firms.
