Deeps Ramanathan has joined Degreed as Chief Marketing Officer. Now the CMO of Degreed and Learn In, Deeps will focus on inspiring business and learning decision makers to unlock their workforce performance and innovation through daily learning, deep skill-building and dynamic education access via Degreed and Learn In. He brings extensive experience as a global marketing executive, board member and advisor across technology, digital media, advertising, and education.

Prior to Learn In, Deeps built and led marketing teams in the US, Asia Pacific and Europe for almost a decade at Google, 8 years at IBM and 2 years at Twitter. He was Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of a venture and Y Combinator-backed education technology startup. Deeps will bring his experience with driving marketing in both a global and fast growth environment to his new role, as the combined company looks to reaffirm a leadership position in an increasingly complex learning technology space.

“I am proud to take on this role during such a transformative time for Degreed,” said Ramanathan. “Marketing has never been more challenging due to the complexity and volume of channels, content, and touchpoints inside today’s organizations. I’m excited to lead a strong team, and continue to work alongside David Blake to navigate these challenges and accelerate Degreed’s growth while defining the future of employee skill development. I deeply believe that continuous learning throughout one’s career should be encouraged, easy to access, and recognized as people change jobs.”

Deeps comes to Degreed with a passion for enabling people with the right learning opportunities to grow their careers. His own journey from engineer, to marketer, to founder, and moving from Australia to Asia to the USA, underpins this ethos for helping others reach further. His first priorities at Degreed will be to build on strong foundations and steer the market narrative leading to faster adoption of both Degreed and Learn In.
