Udacity: Vish Makhijani: Why I Joined Udacity
All of us at Udacity, from Sebastian on down, welcome Udacity's new President & COO, Vish Makhijani. Vish Makhijani I am excited to announce that I have joined the team at Udacity. As I spent time with my family and recharged over the last year and a half (the first real break in my career), I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do next after earning my stripes at Yahoo, Zynga and other Bay Area companies. I realized that I most enjoyed work when I was tied into the company's mission and dug the people I worked with. I fast realized that education is an area that I care enormously about. Education, especially higher education, is at a crossroads and is fast becoming unaffordable and inaccessible for many in our society (and around the world). As I stare into the future for my child, I worry that he, and others like him, will be handed an antiquated experience that will ill prepare him for a life of fulfillment and economic self-sustainability.
