About Me
Rachel Koblic is a leader at the intersection of learning, design, and strategy. Her mission is to create high-quality learning for life in the digital economy, and foster nurturing and inspiring workplaces for the people around her. With nearly 20 years of interdisciplinary professional experience as both a doer and a leader, she is adept at designing effective learning programs, growing engaged and efficient teams, and connecting disparate dots to solve complex strategic problems.
In her most recent full-time role as VP of Learn at Pavilion—a community of 10,000 global revenue leaders—Rachel grew the Pavilion University educational program more than 300% while maintaining an 89% customer satisfaction rating and increasing enrollments from 3,000 to 11,000 in under a year. Under her leadership, the team built out their Immersive Learning Framework, implemented design and development practices for scale, rolled out their first learning management system, and outlined a data architecture to drive continuous improvement.
Prior to Pavilion, Rachel spent six years at 2U | edX–a global organization working to expand access to education at all levels. During that time, Rachel grew from an individual contributor designing courses with faculty from world-class universities and colleges to a company thought-leader and spokesperson on learning and design as VP of Learning Experience. She grew the learning design team from under 10 to nearly 30 designers, introducing disciplinary specialization and expertise in the process, and was a primary author on 2U’s inaugural Learning Experience Framework.
In her first 12 years post college, Rachel also oversaw educational programming for children and teens as Children’s Librarian at The American Library in Paris, recruited for global investment firm D. E. Shaw & Co., ran business and curricular operations for the American Sommelier Association, and managed people and operations for Global Health Strategies.
Rachel graduated from Princeton in 2004 with an A.B. in History and a certificate in Theater and Dance. Returning to school as an online student 15 years later, she graduated from Indiana University–Bloomington with her M.S. in Education in Instructional Systems Technology in 2022. She lives with her partner and their menagerie of animals near Saratoga Springs, NY.
