Scott Anderberg Succeeds Martin Dougiamas in the CEO position of Moodle 

Moodle has announced the appointment of Scott Anderberg as its incoming Chief Executive Officer, following an extensive global search process. Scott will assume the role, succeeding Moodle Founder Martin Dougiamas, who, after 24 years as CEO, revealed plans in July 2023 to transition into the Head of Research position, focusing on the application of transformative technologies in education.

Martin will retain the CEO position until January 2024, continuing as a shareholder and Chairman of Moodle’s board of directors. Scott will officially assume the role of Moodle’s CEO in February 2024.

Moodle stands as an open-source, secure, and scalable learning management system. With over 160,000 sites globally and available in over 100 languages, Moodle is the preferred choice for education and training needs worldwide.

Scott brings over two decades of expertise in the eLearning industry, commencing his career at eCollege, an eLearning software and services provider. Notably, he spent 15 years at Pearson, a renowned learning company with a global workforce of 20,000. His tenure as Vice President of Pearson Online Learning Services saw significant portfolio growth and expanded international business, catering to students from over 150 countries.

Scott Anderberg expressed enthusiasm, stating, “I couldn’t be more excited to join the team at Moodle and guide them through this next chapter of development and growth. My career has been motivated by a keen interest in increasing access to educational opportunities in markets where affordability and personal obligations make that challenging. No education company has done more to overcome these barriers globally than Moodle. Moodle has an incredible global footprint, and I’m excited by the opportunities to develop its impact in supporting people across their lifelong learning journey, whether in formal education settings like schools and universities or throughout their career.”

Expressing satisfaction with the selection, Moodle’s Founder, Martin Dougiamas, remarked, “I am very happy we found Scott Anderberg in our search for a new CEO. Scott has shown he understands and respects the values-driven mission that defines Moodle while bringing the seasoned commercial leadership that Moodle needs for its sustainability. I’m confident he’s a great fit for the team, and I’m looking forward to him driving positive improvements in our strategy and team culture.”

In his capacity as CEO, Scott will report to Moodle’s Board of Directors, tasked with driving sustainable long-term growth, ensuring operational excellence, fostering team leadership, maintaining product quality, and strengthening relationships with global stakeholders, including Moodle’s Certified Partners.

Pierre Guerin, Moodle Board Member, and AFIR General Secretary, expressed satisfaction with Scott’s appointment, highlighting his strategic acumen in expanding online educational entities and commitment to educational equity. He anticipates Scott steering Moodle’s ongoing growth trajectory. AFIR has been a pivotal investment partner for Moodle since 2017.

Guerin also acknowledged Martin’s significant contributions to global education, applauding his entrepreneurial prowess in EdTech. The focus on research and exploration of new educational technologies is seen as a promising step for Moodle’s future.
