Today marks an important milestone in the history of Ready Education. We’re excited to announce the appointment of our new Chief Executive Officer, Jim Brigadier. 

Effective from today, Jim Brigadier will take over operations from Gary Fortier, who has served as CEO since January 2020. 

With 23 years of experience in growing and leading within the education technology sector, he is passionate about student success.

Jim has held various executive roles and brings strong leadership and experience building diverse, mission-oriented, and highly effective teams, leading go-to-market expansions into international markets and expanding global support, client experience and client success teams. Prior to his time in Education Technology, he served as an Intelligence Officer in the United States Marine Corps for over 8 years

“Ready Education’s number one core value is putting student success first,” said Mr. Brigadier. “By keeping the student at the center of every decision, we will continue to enable innovative digital experiences that build stronger, more engaged communities. Ready’s strong fundamentals – a broad portfolio of engagement products, impressive global scale, and a talented team – provide a springboard for further growth and innovation, and I am honored to join the Ready Education team and to serve higher education institutions globally, while prioritizing student success in a rapidly evolving digital world,”

This will be a great new chapter for Ready Education!
