About Elizabeth Simpson
I’m a director-level leader specializing in student success strategy, learning analytics, and system-wide higher education initiatives that improve retention, access, and learner outcomes at scale.Across my work in statewide higher education systems, institutional leadership, and edtech analytics, I focus on translating complex data, compliance requirements, and institutional priorities into actionable strategies that drive measurable impact. My experience includes leading large-scale analytics implementations, guiding LMS and platform transitions, advancing accessibility and accreditation alignment, and supporting cross-institution collaboration serving hundreds of thousands of learners.I’m particularly passionate about helping colleges and systems move from activity data to meaningful insight—connecting engagement, persistence, and equity-focused access to real decision-making that supports students more effectively.Colleagues know me for navigating complex, multi-stakeholder environments with clarity and momentum, aligning leadership, technology, and operations to deliver sustainable change rather than one-time initiatives.I’m currently interested in leadership opportunities in:Student Success Strategy & RetentionLearning Analytics & Institutional EffectivenessState Systems, Foundations, and EdTech AnalyticsData-informed access, equity, and workforce pathwaysIf you’re working on improving student outcomes at scale, I’d love to connect.
