For more than three decades, LRN has set the standard in ethics and compliance—shaping the category through unmatched expertise and technology.

Lemmond, who will be based in New York, will work closely with the Board of Directors and leadership team to advance LRN’s purpose-driven mission and guide the company into its next chapter of innovation and growth.
“Organizations around the world are navigating increasing regulatory complexity, rising cultural expectations, and rapid technological change,” said Lemmond. “LRN’s mission—and its technology-enabled approach to inspiring ethical, values-based behavior—has never been more important. I am honored to join this remarkable company and look forward to partnering with our talented colleagues to expand our solutions, accelerate growth, and deepen the impact we deliver for our customers around the world.”
