Ahmed Haque
Ahmed Haque
CEO

Ahmed believes that great education can and should offer people a transformative leap forward in their lives. It shouldn’t cost them a fortune. And it shouldn’t require them to fundamentally change who they are. Education should be judged on the opportunities it creates — whether that means a new (and better) job, an increase in creative freedom, or a powerful moment of self-discovery.
