This episode’s guest, Ryan Austin, Founder and CEO of Cognota, joins host Anne to explore how organizations can finally measure and maximize the impact of corporate learning. Ryan shares his unconventional journey from “bad student” to tech founder, revealing how his hands-on approach to entrepreneurship led to the creation of Cognota—the world’s first LearnOps platform built to optimize enterprise learning operations.

He explains why most large companies fail to track the ROI of their learning programs and how Cognota empowers teams to connect their learning strategy directly to business outcomes. Ryan also discusses the evolution of LearnOps into a broader vision that unites learning, talent, and HR operations under one system—helping organizations overcome silos, improve capacity, and unleash their people’s full potential.
Check out Cognota's recent research, made in collaboration with Deloitte, Cornerstone OnDemand, and Endeavor Intelligence, which reveals how AI Operators are transforming enterprise learning from reactive support to a strategic powerhouse. Click here to access the free white paper.
