Cassandra PittmanSenior Manager, EMEA University Partnership Services, Coursera Host & Executive Producer, Power Done Differently podcast

Cassandra is a native Californian and long-time Londoner with nearly 20 years’ experience working across countries and cultures to build educational brands and encourage future business leaders to 'think global'. Like many women, she’s a champion plate-spinner. In addition to her role leading the EMEA University Partnerships team at Coursera, she interviews leading women in politics and business on the Power Done Differently podcast, which has ranked in the top 25 in the Careers series on Apple Podcasts in 11 countries across four continents. She also serves on the Executive Committee for the Liberal Democrats in Kensington & Chelsea. 

Cassandra is deeply passionate about democratising education and opportunity, promoting open and inclusive values, and advancing more women to positions of leadership. 

When she’s not glued to her desk, you can usually find her getting frustrated with the news and listening to podcasts. She holds an MBA from Columbia Business School, an MA from Vrije Universiteit Brussel and a General Management Certificate from INSEAD. Her favourite way to unwind is by not doing yoga.
