Chief Executive Officer @Skillsvr

Joy Business Academy was started in 2013 with the goal to change people’s lives through the teaching of life and business skills. This experience highlighted the massive skills gap that was evident for job seekers as well as the challenges individuals had in acquiring the necessary skills to be employable. Traditional education was not working, we needed to find a new way to deliver training that is fun, engaging and immersive that delivers very high learning outcomes. We believe that everyone has a right to valued employment, regardless of education, literacy or location and that coupled with the current skills training methods being outdated and failing the business community – SkillsVR was born. We didn\'t set out to create a VR company but we found that it was the most effective way to train, educate and up-skill individuals from all walks of life. What will be our ultimate measure of success be? PLAYING, LEARNING and GROWING TOGETHER, by being CURIOUS, ENGAGING and COLLABORATIVE. Our core customer advocates are the LEARNERS, their learning outcomes (being Certified SkillsVR) is our true measure of success. So, our promise ensures that our LEARNERS are playing, learning and growing, and as we build partnerships with Global companies, and global customers, this will happen together. What will be our key measures of success beyond core SaaS measures ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV etc? To engage learners, we need headsets, the more headsets in market, the more learners we engage in playing, learning, and growing together! Our ultimate measures are;#Headsets,#Learners and ARR Per Headset, that we heat map as we grow headsets globally!
