Appointment of ex-Apple director as Special Adviser to the Board
Dev Clever, a leading developer of online and immersive career guidance, learning and development platforms, is pleased to announce that it has appointed Alan Greenberg as a Special Adviser to the Board.
Alan is a former Head of Higher Education EMEA and Director of Education China & Asia Pac at Apple Inc. He has significant and relevant expertise in product-market-fit, in launching consumer focused, impactful and sustainable educational applications across emerging markets and his existing network will be invaluable in supporting Dev Clever as it delivers on its stated growth strategy.
Chris Jeffries, CEO Dev Clever, said: "I am delighted to welcome Alan as a Special Advisor to Dev Clever's Board. His experience with global leaders in education such as Apple, EDT&Partners and McKinsey & Co will be invaluable as we accelerate the rollout of our online and immersive careers success platform and STEM learning content. Our recently announced tactical partnership with Aldebaron guarantees a minimum of US$50m in revenue over the next three years to roll out the Launchmycareer.com platform to nine additional emerging territories across MENA and South Asia and we are confident we have the right team in place to make the most of the opportunities ahead."
Alan Greenberg, Special Advisor Dev Clever, added: "Dev Clever's initial focus on the EdTech market in India has already gained significant momentum. The 5-year partnership with NISA and the recently extended central government backed initiative with the CSC Academy Centres gives it the near term potential to engage with a total of over 15 million students through various subscription models. Much progress has already been made and I am excited to be using my experience in developing and scaling education technology businesses globally to advise Dev Clever at this exciting time in its development."
