LRN Corporation is entering a new leadership phase as it navigates increasing global demand for ethics and compliance solutions. The company has appointed Bob Lemmond as its new Chief Executive Officer. Lemmond, a seasoned executive with a background in scaling governance, risk, and information-services businesses, will guide LRN's strategy to expand its technology-enabled impact on organizational culture and principled performance worldwide.
Ethics and compliance technology leader LRN appoints Bob Lemmond as its new CEO.
Lemmond brings over two decades of experience in governance, risk, data, and information services.
He previously held senior roles at ISS, Clarivate, and was CEO of Wolters Kluwer’s Legal & Regulatory Division.
He succeeds Kevin Michielsen, who led LRN since 2020 and will transition to an advisory role.
Lemmond will also join LRN's Board of Directors.
The appointment aims to accelerate LRN's growth and innovation in a complex regulatory environment.
The appointment comes at a time when organizations globally face heightened regulatory complexity and cultural expectations. Lemmond's mandate is to advance LRN's purpose-driven mission, leveraging its technology and advisory solutions to help clients navigate these challenges. He emphasized the timeliness of LRN's focus on inspiring ethical, values-based behavior as a critical organizational asset.
Lemmond's executive background aligns closely with LRN's market. His experience includes senior roles at Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Clarivate, and he served as CEO of Wolters Kluwer’s Legal & Regulatory Division. More recently, he co-founded an investment platform and served as a Board Director and Advisor to The Carlyle Group. This history of leading and scaling businesses in adjacent governance, risk, and data sectors provides a strong foundation for guiding LRN's next chapter.
Lemmond succeeds Kevin Michielsen, who is credited with strengthening the business during his tenure as CEO since 2020 and will now move into an advisory role supporting the board. The transition indicates a strategic shift toward scaling the company's impact. LRN Founder Dov Seidman and board partner Jacques Galante expressed confidence that Lemmond's "purpose-led leadership" and operational expertise will drive sustained, profitable growth and deepen customer impact.
The appointment of a CEO with Lemmond's commercial and sector-specific pedigree signals LRN's ambition to expand its reach and solutions portfolio. As ethical conduct and regulatory compliance become central to corporate reputation and risk management, LRN is positioning itself with leadership capable of scaling its unique blend of technology, education, and advisory services to meet growing global demand.
