CIO Views Magazine Features Seshni Jacobs, CEO of Hachette

Austin, TX - March 2025 - CIO Views Magazine is proud to feature Seshni Jacobs, Chief Executive Officer of Hachette Learning, on the cover of its latest edition, 'Top 10 Most Inspiring Women Leaders to Watch in 2025'. With an unwavering commitment to transforming education through innovative learning solutions, Seshni is in charge of redefining education globally.

Shaping the Future of Learning Through Innovation

At the helm of Hachette Learning, Seshni is driving the company's evolution from a traditional textbook publisher into a global, digital-first education powerhouse. Under her leadership, Hachette Learning has launched two groundbreaking digital product suites-Hachette Learning Adaptive and Hachette Learning Academy-which leverage cutting-edge adaptive technologies to provide personalized learning experiences that cater to diverse student needs.

These advancements reflect Seshni's vision for inclusive, technology-driven education that not only enhances student engagement but also empowers educators with the tools to deliver exceptional learning experiences. "Education is not just about content; it's about unlocking every learner's true potential by recognizing individual needs," she explains.

From South Africa to the Global Education Stage

Growing up in a family of educators in South Africa, Seshni was destined for a career in education. Her passion led her from traditional publishing to EdTech, where she continues to challenge the status quo. "My goal was always to educate and make a difference," she says.

Since taking on the role of CEO in 2023, she has championed a five-year strategy to transform Hachette Learning, integrating a startup mindset into the company's operations. From mentoring teams to partnering with global education ministries, she is actively shaping the future of education worldwide.

Overcoming Challenges as a Woman in Leadership

As a woman of color in a male-dominated industry, Seshni has had to break barriers throughout her career. "It's easier now, but when I first started, the struggle was real," she shares. Her determination, resilience, and leadership have helped her rise above biases and make a tangible impact in the education sector.

She encourages other women in leadership to own their space and embrace their voice. A quote from Melinda Gates resonates deeply with her: "A woman with a strong voice is a strong woman, but nobody knows how difficult the journey to get that strong voice was."

Education, Technology, and the Road Ahead

Seshni is a firm believer in the role of technology in shaping the future of education. With AI, digital learning tools, and life skills integration, she ensures that students are prepared for the evolving workforce.

"At Hachette Learning, we strive to understand the unique strengths of every learner and use technology to enhance their development," she explains. Her focus remains on developing measurable educational outcomes and ensuring that every teacher and student has access to tools that truly make a difference.

A Message to Aspiring Leaders in Education

Seshni sees education as a calling, not just a career choice. She encourages aspiring professionals to ensure that their passion aligns with their purpose. "Education is about making a difference in every aspect of a child's life," she states. Her leadership continues to inspire educators, students, and professionals worldwide.

As Hachette Learning expands its global reach, Seshni remains committed to fostering a new era of education. "We are on the verge of achieving something truly groundbreaking-watch this space," she says with excitement.
