Pragmatic Institute has appointed Danielle Chircop as Chief Executive Officer. Roo Partners advised on the search.
Pragmatic Institute is the global leader in product management and product marketing training, having certified more than 250,000 product professionals worldwide since 1993.
Chircop brings a background spanning product, technology, and learning development, with a track record of expanding enterprise businesses and building organizational capability. Her firsthand experience deploying AI across organizations is directly relevant to what the category now demands of training providers.
The product management profession is being reshaped by the same tools it builds. A training institution facing that shift needs leadership that has worked through it operationally, not observed it from a distance. That was the defining requirement of this search.
Roo Partners is a retained executive search firm for private equity and growth equity-backed companies, engaged when leadership decisions are complex and central to the investment thesis.
