Former Docebo Sales Leader Chris Bondarenko Joins 360Learning as North American Chief Revenue Officer to Accelerate Expansion

At 360Learning, we’re on a mission to help Learning and Development professionals unlock, retain, and grow the skills of every employee through collaborative learning. And, just like any other enterprise, we need top talent to make it happen.

So, as we cross the $60M global ARR milestone - with $10M coming from North America - we’re thrilled to announce the appointment of former Docebo sales leader Chris Bondarenko as Chief Revenue Officer, North America.  But that’s not the only new feather in our cap: Paul Hermelin, Capgemini chairman and former CEO, is also joining as senior advisor.

Welcome to the team, Chris and Paul!

The appointment comes as our operations in North America have grown 65% to now make up more than 15% of 360Learning’s revenues. Our US-based team has grown close to 100 employees and new customers including Cisco, Biogen, Kinaxis, and Toyota. As 360Learning’s new North American CRO, Chris is tasked with accelerating this successful growth across the US and Canada. 

Chris has a true passion for employee development and learning which has inspired his career to date. After holding numerous sales leadership positions at high-growth SaaS companies, Chris joined learning management software company Docebo as VP of Sales North America and APAC. He contributed to the company’s rise from $30M to $125M in ARR, signing several >$1M US deals and growing the sales teams’ headcount by 500%. 

Upon leaving Docebo, he most recently operated as CRO for employee mentoring software provider MentorcliQ, where he spearheaded a successful growth strategy, increasing the company’s ARR while restructuring the revenue organization and integrating the Diverst acquisition.

More collaborative learning, AI, and skills on the horizon 

When asked how he felt about his new role, Chris had this to say: "I'm thrilled to join the talented team at 360Learning which is at the cutting edge of the rapidly evolving learning technology space. Learning and development have been at the heart of my career and I couldn't be any happier to join a company where my values of innovation, accountability, and customer-centricity are fully aligned. I look forward to doing something truly special for the North American market and further empower our customers to reap the benefits of collaborative learning backed by AI and a skills foundation.” 

The feeling is mutual, Chris!

Nick Hernandez, CEO and co-founder of 360Learning, has similar words of encouragement: “We’re delighted Chris is joining the 360Learning team as our new CRO for North America. He has an unparalleled track record scaling revenue teams in the learning and mentoring space and our industry, which will be invaluable as we grow in the next few years.” 

What’s next for 360Learning? 

Since 2013, 360Learning has been using technology to accelerate the power of collaborative learning across 2,300+ customers worldwide and is on track to pass $60 million ARR globally in the next few months. 

Recently, 360Learning has focused on applying AI to power skills development, including acquiring eLamp, an AI-powered skills platform to revolutionize skills-based learning and support the needs of its growing customer base to upskill and reskill its workforce in late 2023 and launching the first SkillsGPT in the GPT Store, to empower HR and L&D leaders in laying the groundwork for a skills-based learning approach at their organization.
