Udemy has announced that has Greg Brown joined the company as President. Brown brings over 20 years of executive experience leading high-growth and mission-driven technology companies and joins Udemy to help thousands of global customers achieve better business outcomes and drive innovation through learning.

Gregg Coccari, CEO of Udemy, says, “We are excited to welcome Greg to Udemy during this important growth stage for the company.
