Go1 Appoints Jenny Dearborn to Board as L&D Faces a Tech-Powered Makeover

Go1, the world’s go-to content aggregator for learning and development (L&D) leaders, has added heavyweight learning strategist Jenny Dearborn to its Board of Directors—a move signaling the company’s deeper push into AI-enhanced, outcomes-driven workplace learning.

Dearborn is no stranger to scaling L&D systems at the enterprise level. She previously served as Chief Learning Officer at SAP, where she oversaw global learning strategy and built programs at scale for tens of thousands of employees. She's also a best-selling author on using data to boost workforce performance—and she's bringing that knowledge straight to Go1’s table.

Why This Appointment Matters

Dearborn’s arrival comes at a pivotal moment for corporate learning. Organizations are scrambling to upskill teams in real time while integrating AI, personalized learning, and data-backed outcomes—all without overwhelming already stretched L&D departments.

“Jenny understands the real challenges L&D teams face every day,” said Chris Eigeland, CEO of Go1. “She knows what it takes to build learning programs that actually work at scale.”

Go1, which aggregates learning content into a single platform, is positioning itself as the answer to content sprawl and ineffective training tools. By bringing in Dearborn, the company signals it’s not just curating content—it’s serious about strategic enablement at the executive level.

A Veteran Who Knows the Learner—and the Numbers

“I’ve always believed that great learning happens when you combine the right content with smart data insights,” said Dearborn. “Go1 is solving real problems for L&D professionals, and I’m excited to help them reach even more organizations.”

Dearborn’s resume reads like a checklist for modern L&D leadership: CLO at SAP, Chief Talent Officer at HP Enterprise, CPO at Klaviyo, and now Chief People Strategy Officer at BTS. She's also authored three best-sellers on workforce analytics and is a proud advocate for neurodiversity, creative work, and—yes—beekeeping.

Go1's Bigger Vision

This board appointment comes as Go1 looks to expand its footprint and sharpen its value proposition amid fierce competition in the L&D tech space. The company’s AI strategy, vast content library, and compliance tools already serve over 10,000 organizations worldwide, including several Fortune 500 names.

Backed by a star-studded investor list (think Salesforce Ventures, SoftBank, and Y Combinator), Go1 has raised over $400 million to date and was named a 2023 Top Company by Y Combinator.

With Dearborn on board, Go1 isn’t just stacking its leadership team—it’s doubling down on its mission to make scalable, strategic learning the new normal.
