Avantis Education has appointed Manjinder Kaur as vice president of product to help drive the global growth strategy for ClassVR, the virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) solution designed exclusively for education.
This latest leadership appointment follows the company’s expansion of its C-suite earlier this year. As VP of product, Kaur will lead the international development of ClassVR, embedding consumer behaviour and user psychology into the core product strategy.
Focusing on insights, innovation, and impact, Kaur is tasked with delivering a roadmap that balances global growth with localisation strategies.
Kaur brings extensive experience to Avantis Education, with a career spanning decades in teaching and educational technology. She studied product design at university and worked in a variety of companies before becoming a teacher.
Alongside a master’s degree in Leading Innovation in Teaching, Kaur has been recognised with accolades that include the James Dyson National Design and Technology Teacher of the Year and the Barclays West Midlands Startup of the Year award.
Kaur said: “I am happiest when my work has a far-reaching impact, and my role at Avantis delivers exactly that. ClassVR is already enhancing learning for millions of students around the world. My aim is to build on this foundation by taking ClassVR forward and creating experiences that are even more immersive, engaging, exciting and have a strong educational impact. I strongly believe Avantis is perfectly positioned to bring about real, meaningful changes and transform education for learners across the globe.”
Bruce Grove, chief technology officer, Avantis Education, added: “This strategic appointment underscores our commitment to developing ClassVR to meet the evolving needs of education worldwide. Bridging the gap between product design and the classroom, Kaur brings invaluable experience and insights that will help drive global growth of ClassVR.”
