Leadership Insights:
Max Wessel, Co-CEO of Degreed, stated, “Every one of our clients is challenged to keep up with the pace of change. With our innovations in skills, automation, and AI, our clients don’t need to choose between scaling learning programs and personalizing those programs. They can have both.”
