The first area continues to be on content development. I help manage the development schedule and ensure that content is delivered on time and within budget. I support the prioritization of content development based on customer needs, market opportunities, and impact on learning outcomes. The second area is providing sales and marketing with support by giving talks, webinars, and conference presentations that highlight our thought leadership in the space of Cognitive Science and its intersection with educational technology. The third area is a focus on the future. I work closely with the Senior Director of Content Design to better understand where the field is moving and to design solutions that help address our customers’ biggest challenges. Show less
