Open LMS Announces Executive Leadership Transition

Maura Connor, who will step into the role of Chief Executive Officer on August 17, is an accomplished executive with more than 30 years of experience within the education technology sector. Connor brings a profound understanding of the edtech landscape and a proven track record for translating strategic vision into execution and measurable business results.

"I am thrilled to join Open LMS at such a pivotal time in the digital learning space," said the incoming CEO. "Open LMS has built an incredible global ecosystem, and I look forward to working alongside this talented team to build on that momentum, expand our market presence, and continue delivering exceptional value to our clients."

Joining alongside Connor is Willem Boom, who has been appointed as the new SVP of Global Sales. Boom is a seasoned global sales leader with more than 25 years of experience leading high-performing, customer-facing teams across edtech, professional learning, and SaaS environments.

As Open LMS embarks on this new chapter, the existing global leadership team and staff stand ready to support Connor and Boom, combining their deep open source LMS expertise with the fresh operational and market perspectives brought by the new executive leadership. Concurrently, David Ells (former Managing Director) and Bill Conran (former Head of Sales) are moving on to pursue new opportunities after two and a half years of dedicated service. The entire Open LMS organization extends its gratitude to both leaders for their stewardship, support, and contributions, wishing them the best in their future endeavors.
