About Brandon Foltz
I have been fortunate to work with amazing colleagues who make anything possible. In 2024, I was part of the team that received the Cengage Group Collaboration Award for our Generative AI Student Assistant. Also in 2024, I was a member of the team that was a finalist for the Industry Award as part of the AI Customer Connection Team. In my previous roles at Cengage, I played a crucial role in increasing both revenue and market share by 100% and 50%, respectively, in market-leading disciplines. My product portfolio generated over $150 million in annual revenue. I am also involved in several Artificial Intelligence initiatives, many of which I initiated and prototyped. Lastly, I was recognized as part of the \"Product & Marketing Team of the Year\" on two occasions (2016 & 2021) during my first eight years with the company. As a YouTube content creator, I have earned over subscribers, taught over 25 million learners (and counting), and hosted a bi-monthly live stream during COVID. My unique ability to ingest, deconstruct, and reassemble information allows me to design instructional programs tailored to learners\' needs and abilities. If you want to learn more about my work or have any questions, please don\'t hesitate to reach out. I\'m always eager to connect with others who are passionate about AI, education, and business.

Experience
Senior Instructional Designer
Jan 2014 — Present · Cincinnati, OH, US
I am a Senior Instructional Designer in the Product Innovation and Technology division at Cengage Group.Highlights: 2024 Cengage Collaboration Award - Generative AI Student Assistant Team2024 Cengage Industry Leadership Award Finalist - AI Customer Connection Team2021 Cengage Product/Marketing Team of the Year (Camm - Business Analytics 4e)2017 CODiE Finalist - MindTap for Business Statistics with Excel Online2016 Cengage Product/Marketing Team of the Year (Excel Online)My current work at Cengage entails working on company AI initiatives, products, and process innovation. Additionally, I also travel to various universities, conferences, and conventions to present to faculty and students,\"Everything is About to Change: AI and Education in the Intelligence Age.\"Since starting at Cengage, I have had the honor of working with one of the business\'s best teams. Our team has doubled units, revenue, and market share (to extend our lead). Internally, we have led our division in activation growth. The products we create are some of the largest, most innovative, and most complex Cengage offers to students and instructors, and we deliver.I started at Cengage in January 2014, and by the winter of 2016, we were Product and Marketing Team of the Year. In collaboration with Microsoft, we implemented the Excel Online problem type, which has now expanded to the Excel Online and Excel Download problem type. It exists nowhere else in our industry. I am continually looking for opportunities to innovate, rethink, and streamline based on customer and business needs.Cengage entrusts our team with several first edition products and ancillaries, which is very rare in our current economic environment. When a business opportunity emerges, and innovation is needed, our team is the go-to team. Company Vice Presidents, Directors, and authors know we can do it and deliver to the business, instructors, and students. And we do because we (and I) love what we do.
