    As Chair of PowerMyLearning, I am thrilled to announce the appointment of Dr. Arun Ramanathan as our new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Arun will succeed the organization’s visionary Co-Founder, Elisabeth Stock, who will transition to the role of Founder In Residence. The transition will take effect May 1, 2024.
