As Chief Product and Technology Officer of Boundless Learning, Mr. Richards helped lead the transition of Boundless Learning to a standalone company, including the creation and optimization of the global organization and infrastructure to support stability and growth. With an extensive background in technology, significant expertise in designing impactful digital learning experiences, and demonstrated success developing new products and revenue streams, Mr. Richards is ideally suited to lead the Company as it executes its growth strategy in the higher education, corporate, and association verticals in 2025 and beyond.

“It’s an honor and privilege to lead Boundless Learning and our incredible team of dedicated professionals as we capitalize on the growth opportunities before us,” said Mr. Richards. “We are well positioned to build on our successful first year as a standalone company. From launching an innovative, new partnership with Sassoon Academy to unveiling our refreshed product and service solutions, we continue to expand our unique offerings that are built on our strong background in online education. Our approach and mission remain the same: To drive learner success through personalization and provide opportunity for our partners to expand their reach.
