Brandon Lee
- Brandon, welcome to the chair’s seat. What are the reasons for doing this?
I am extremely proud of the Terra Dotta team and all that we have accomplished together in recent years, which is evidenced by the increased number of customers, products, partners, and employees.
As part of our growth plans, we have recruited experienced executives to help accelerate our growth and are now operating at an entirely new level. There is much more opportunity ahead, and to make it a reality, there is a need for further evolution.
- What are your plans for the new role?
I am looking forward to being able to focus on external and strategic issues that impact our company and valued employees, as well as our higher education clients and their thousands of students and faculty/staff members.
- Will you pursue other opportunities?
No.
- Why is Anthony Rotoli the right person for the CEO role?
Anthony is the right person to lead this next chapter in Terra Dotta’s history. His track record of successfully leading and scaling higher ed tech companies, combined with time-tested industry expertise, make him a natural choice as our next CEO.
I look forward to collaborating with him and continuing to expand Terra Dotta’s impact on institutions’ international programs worldwide.
