Greg Hart, newly appointed CEO of Coursera, discusses his background from Amazon and how it will shape his leadership in the educational sector. Hart highlights the importance of technology in addressing the needs of learners seeking high-quality, flexible education. His experience from launching products at Amazon, including Alexa and Prime Video, informs his strategy to create meaningful educational experiences. Hart expresses confidence in Coursera's capacity to partner with universities and emphasizes the transformative power of education in people's lives, stating the higher stakes involved compared to his prior industry.
While higher education is a new sector for me, there are clear parallels: At Amazon, we solved enduring customer problems through technology. That same principle applies at Coursera.
What makes this work especially meaningful is the higher stakes involved. We're not just helping people shop or stream content— we're helping them transform their lives through access to learning.
