SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Udemy (Nasdaq: UDMY), a leading AI-powered skills acceleration platform, today announced the appointment of Zane Vella as the company's Head of Content, Instructor & Creator Strategy.
The appointment of Vella comes as Udemy continues to accelerate its strategic transformation, having surpassed its 2025 goal of reaching 250,000 paid Consumer Personal Plan subscribers well ahead of year-end. This milestone underscores Udemy’s focus on driving subscription growth. During Q2 2025, Udemy Business and Consumer subscription offerings accounted for 70% of total revenue.
As Udemy executes its strategic transformation, Vella will lead the evolution of Udemy's global content strategy and instructor/creator ecosystem, while overseeing two critical growth levers: curating high-impact content aligned to global skills demand and building a modern creator/instructor partnership model. He brings extensive experience as an executive leader with a background spanning education, digital media production, and digital product development.
“Zane brings a unique combination of learning expertise, creator ecosystem experience, and product innovation leadership that perfectly aligns with our vision,” said Hugo Sarrazin, President and CEO at Udemy. “His proven track record of building interactive platforms and scaling creator partnerships will be instrumental as we seek to further expand our marketplace, enhance content quality, and accelerate our subscription growth across consumer and enterprise businesses. We're thrilled to welcome him at this pivotal stage of our transformation.”
