Coursera Appoints Tom Savage as Chief Legal Officer

Coursera (COUR) announced that Tom Savage has joined the company as Chief Legal Officer and Secretary as part of a planned leadership transition. Savage succeeds Alan Cardenas, who has decided to transition from his role as head of the legal department in order to focus on his family after five years with the company, during which time Coursera scaled its operations as a public company. To ensure a smooth handoff, Cardenas will continue to remain in his role as General Counsel with Coursera until the end of 2026 to support Savage's onboarding. Prior to joining Coursera, Savage held various legal leadership roles at Red Hat over nearly a decade, from November 2017 to May 2026, most recently as Vice President and General Counsel for Red Hat at IBM (IBM).

The platform is expected to be broadly available to enterprise customers in the first half of 2027.
