Epignosis, a leading global learning software company, announces the appointment of Nikhil Arora to CEO. Effective December 31, 2023, Thanos Papangelis will evolve from the role of CEO to a board member and product & innovation advisor.
Prior to joining Epignosis, Arora had a highly successful multi-decade career working for high-growth companies where he spearheaded their launch into new markets, product development, and the development of critical global initiatives. A former executive of GoDaddy, Intuit, WeWork and ADP, Nikhil has helped small and medium-sized companies in the EU, US and Asian markets to move upmarket and prepare for their next phase of growth. Arora’s educational and professional experience allowed him to live in nearly 20 cities, which has been invaluable in giving him the skills and knowledge to grow businesses in the EU, United States, and Asian market.
“The importance of upskilling and reskilling within businesses is here to stay. The work that Epignosis has been doing to make learning simple and scalable for companies is incredible. Thanos and Dimitiris have been able to bring their vision to life with Epignosis, and I see so much opportunity to grow the company further and expand our global footprint. I look forward to working hand-in-hand with Thanos next month to further dive into the business so we are set up to revolutionize the world of skilling in 2024 and beyond,” commented CEO Nikhil Arora. “I have spent the last few months shadowing Thanos and listening to customers and employees to learn the company and product suite inside and out. As the world of work continues to evolve and companies double-down on learning and development initiatives internally, the potential is tremendous for Epignosis, its software suite, and future product offerings.”

Through this shift in leadership, the mission of Epignosis remains the same. Guided by a goal of democratizing learning, Epignosis has experienced massive growth. The company’s headcount increased nearly 150% from 2020 to 2023. It grew its customer base 40% in that time frame, with its technology used by 22 million people in more than 160 countries in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. Its focus on product innovation and impactful learning content has made it a go-to for companies like Google, the United Nations, Schneider Electric, eBay, LVMH, ISUZU, Epson, Zalora, and HarperCollins Publishers, and others.
“Epignosis has exceeded what Dimitris and I had thought possible, and I have the utmost confidence in Nikhil, as I know he will be able to bring the business to new heights,” said co-founder Thanos Papangelis. “Nikhil has a strong background in growing global businesses and – specifically – pushing companies to the next level in the HR technology sector. He is the embodiment of a great leader; he is passionate, smart, experienced in the space, and dedicated to the culture of our company and the happiness of our people. I am excited to watch him fully step into the role, and look forward to continuing to work with the product team as a product & innovation advisor on enhancing our software suite, which directly feeds my passion for creativity and product innovation.”
