XPAN - Key Persons
Aditya is a big fan of work cultures that embrace continuous learning. Since joining the team more than a year ago, he is always adamant about learning client culture so we can engage your learners. He has an uncanny knack for finding just the right fit for a variety of modalities, including podcasts, discussions, reflections, activities, and so much more.
His eye is always open to collaborating on new and different trends in instructional design, and honing our holistic approaches to collaboration.
It is one thing to be on top of cost, time, and budget. However, anticipating potential scope-related challenges in a dynamic, fast pace industry is something else. Amanda loves challenges and excels with complicated projects. She works with you from beginning to end and looks for the human element, bridges connections, and maintains your relationship as a whole.
She trusts our creative team, and knows that our transparent and collaborative communication will tie your entire learning experience together.
Birte joined the Xpan team more than a year ago and loves our approach to team well-being. She tells everyone that our people-centric culture makes for a dynamic, agile, and really fun place to work.
What she values most is understanding your culture and building relationships for long-term learning partnerships. Birte finds the best solutions for your needs and looks forward to hearing about your big plans for the future.
Bonnie has always enjoyed working with smaller companies for the exposure she gets to robust and different tasks. Since joining our team two years ago, she loves the compassion and empathy of our team, plus the flexibility and versatility from our corporate side to our personal side.
Considered employee #001, some might say that Brett, here since the inception of a vision from 20 years ago, was born in the Xpan matrix. He loves being the fixer and getting his DNA on your creative and analytical work.
Loyalty to the work and loyalty to the team is what made Brett want to be part of this company two decades ago-not to mention collaborating with clients who let him work out of the box.
As our resident catalyst for creativity, Curtis is the personification of curiosity. His day-to-day at Xpan provides an outlet for his inquisitive nature and passion for design. With over 14 years of experience challenging creative boundaries in digital knowledge solutions, he champions award winning learning design from a lens that leads the industry.
The brains behind our software division, Jason is responsible for building and maintaining your software platforms. He has his fingerprints on a wide spectrum from business analysis to project scoping and planning, managing the developers, and so much more: you name it and Jason is most likely somehow involved.
Jason loves working with various size of companies: big and small. Show him the challenge you are facing with your learning programs, and together with our team, Jason will provide the software you need.
Sporting a decade of digital knowledge consulting, Matt has been a fixture of our family for more than three years now. His background in communications made the learning world a natural fit and he loves working with Xpan's curious minds and brilliant artists to ensure our clients look like rockstars.
You'll usually find Matt sharing stories of how our digital knowledge solutions deliver ROI across organizations and communities alike for our partners around the globe. Some might say he does it to showcase the effectiveness of KX. But, we know he secretly loves it for the chance to slip in a patented and perfectly-timed one-liner.
Paul joins Xpan with over 25 years of documented success driving profitability in rapid growth environments. Paul's role at Xpan is aligning purpose, values, vision and mission to deliver a sustainable high-performance culture producing superior operational and financial results. Paul's ability to leverage his past leadership experiences in strategy development and business transformation will help build a solid foundation for Xpan's future. Known for his energy, passion, creativity and winning approach toward organizational change Paul likes to build relationships and trust to nurture team cohesion.
