Caroline joined Brightwave in 2013 with a proven and extensive track record in publishing, in particular for academic and professional audiences. She moved from publishing into learning technologies because she saw similar changes in the way in which learning is crafted, delivered and consumed for both students and employees, and that what united both sets of customers were increasing development demands and levels of technical sophistication.
