Udemy, Inc. announced Gregg Coccari will retire from his position as Chairman of the Board, effective February 28, 2023. Additionally, Greg Brown, President of Udemy Business, will succeed Coccari and joined the Board of Directors, and Stephanie Stapleton Sudbury, Senior Vice President of Customer Success for Udemy Business, will be promoted to President of Udemy Business, effective March 1, 2023. In conjunction with these transitions, Udemy's Board will separate the Chair and CEO roles, further strengthening Udemy's corporate governance.

Udemy's Lead Independent Director Jeff Lieberman will be appointed Interim Chairman of the Board upon Coccari's departure. A search for a permanent chairperson is underway. Prior to joining Udemy in 2020, Brown served as CEO at Reflektive.

Prior to Reflektive, Brown was the Senior Vice President of International Business at Blackhawk Network and held the position of Chief Revenue Officer at Achievers Solutions.

Coccari retires from Udemy after four years of scaling the company, including significant international expansion, the appointment of a world-class management team, and completing an IPO in 2021.

Under Coccari's leadership, Udemy grew its learner community to more than 57 million learners on Udemy; propelled Udemy Business to be one of the fastest growing SaaS companies in the world; and continued to attract and retain the best instructors in online learning by building the tools they need to deliver and iterate on the best content in the business.
