Paul Butler, Director of Information and Library Services, University of Greenwich said: "Higher Digital is exploring new ground. Its ability to package the concept of digital transformation - a complex blend of culture and technology - is quite exciting. To have digital transformation as a service would be an organizational holy grail. At the University of Greenwich, we collaborated with Higher Digital to successfully migrate millions of academic marks from a bespoke legacy system to a more robust modern platform. I'm excited to bring experiences like this to the advisory board and to be a part of this larger movement."

Kim Wells, Executive Director, Executive Education and The Center for Career Excellence, Howard University School of Business, and Managing Partner of Aksum Intelligence LLC, said: "At my core – I am an educator, and Higher Digital speaks my language. Wayne and his team embody the ideal that harnessing digital and cultural transformation is instrumental in supporting diversity, inclusion and equal access to all learners. I see the results every day in my work at Howard with our Executive Education programs, as a private executive coach, and as a leader in national organizations such as the Black Alliance of Colleges and Employers and the National Association of African Americans in Human Resources. I look forward to using my experiences to help advance Higher Digital's mission."

Higher Digital has come at the right time as higher education readies itself for this next cycle of change."
