Coursera + Udemy Innovation & Technology Culture

I think the big difference between a lot of companies and what we do at Udemy is that we experiment. We’ll do something and see how it works, and if it moves the metrics in a good way or users like it, then we’ll iterate on that.

One of the things that I’ve really loved about working at Udemy is our bottom-up approach to innovation. There’s a lot of encouragement for people to share their thoughts and ideas.

Coursera and Udemy completed their merger in May of 2026, bringing together their course catalogs, university and industry partnerships, enterprise customers and AI investments. The combined company plans to use those complementary capabilities to evolve beyond content delivery and build a more integrated platform for discovering, developing and validating skills.

“Powered by the scale of our combined global ecosystem, we are moving beyond a content catalog to create a more adaptive, intelligent and agentic skills delivery system — one that more directly connects skills development in the flow of work to real-world outcomes.”
