Interview With Charles Thornburgh, Ceo Of Civitas Learning – Big Data & Education (mde95)

Minter Dialogue Episode #95

  This interview is with Charles Thornburgh, whom I met at SXSW. Charles is founder and CEO of Civitas Learning, with a mission that is close to my heart: to improve education. In this conversation, we hear about Civitas Learning’s approach, using the most sophisticated of data mining to help higher education institutions to take better decisions and create better learning paths for their students. Parallel opportunities exist for businesses and HR departments hoping to improve their ongoing educational support for employees. A truly fascinating topic, a great cause and a powerful ambition.
