As the founder and CEO of Digital Learning Nook, Pooja helps organizations and practitioners navigate the modern learning tech landscape, with a focus on generative AI and content innovation. Her earlier roles as associate vice president of digital learning at Icertis and principal e-learning evangelist at Adobe taught her one thing above all: The best technology decisions start with the problem, not the tool.
