Empowering educators with digital curriculum to achieve better student learning outcomes — that’s Jonathan’s vision and the heart of his work at Imagine Learning. He founded the company in 2011 with the purchase of e2020 and grew it to what is now: the largest digital curriculum provider to K–12 schools in the U.S., serving over 18 million students through core, supplemental, and intervention learning. The power of Imagine Learning’s data-driven personalization helps teachers better tailor their lessons and lets families and administrators better understand student progress.

In addition, he serves on the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center board, where he is the Chair of the Patient Care Committee.
Prior to leading Imagine Learning, Jonathan was Chairman and CEO of Kaplan, Inc., the largest division of Graham Holdings, formerly the Washington Post Company.
