By Greg Hart, Coursera CEO
I’m excited to announce that Patrick Supanc has joined Coursera as our new Chief Product Officer, starting today.
Patrick brings a wealth of experience, combining a deep understanding of customer needs with a proven track record of driving innovation and business impact. Over nearly ten years at Amazon, he helped scale products like Prime, Amazon Hub, and Kindle, and before that, he led digital learning innovations at Pearson and Blackboard. His background in both technology and education makes him the ideal leader to drive product strategy and deliver innovative experiences for learners, partners, and customers worldwide.
Patrick holds an AB in Public and International Affairs from Princeton University and a Master of Public Policy in Political and Economic Development from Harvard Kennedy School.
I also want to recognize the exceptional work of our product and engineering teams, whose dedication and innovation have driven Coursera’s momentum over the past year. From the launch of AI translations, Coursera Coach, and Course Builder — just months after ChatGPT’s release — to our recent introductions of AI-dubbed courses and career-based discovery, their contributions have helped Coursera deliver world-class learning experiences at scale.
As we expand our leadership team, we’re excited to continue building on this momentum — delivering innovative learning experiences and creating more opportunities for our global community. Please join me in welcoming Patrick as we work together to shape the future of learning.
