The news comes as Galvanize’s parent company, Stride, Inc. (NYSE: LRN), reported its seventh consecutive year of revenue growth driven by career learning, including a 24.4% growth in adult learning revenue compared to first quarter 2022. Stride – one of the nation’s leading technology-based education companies – maintains a portfolio of career learning brands and programs targeting a variety of fields including IT and healthcare for students of all ages.

Prior to joining Galvanize, Ms. Matyas served as president of Hatrix Advisors, a social impact strategy and consulting firm, supporting innovative clients in the ESG space including The Nature Conservancy, Techbridge Girls, and The Leadership Circle. Ms. Matyas served as CEO and President of the Student Conservation Association and spent twenty years in various leadership roles at the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), including SVP of Marketing, Chief Operating Officer, and Executive Vice President, where she launched new products and award-winning programs to expand the supporter base, championed new partnerships to diversify funding sources, and improved operations.

A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the Wharton School’s Executive Education Program, Ms. Matyas is a certified Black Belt in Innovation Engineering from Eureka!
