Frank Gartland

Chief Solutions Officer

Frank Gartland serves Skillable customers as our Chief Solutions Officer. He collaborates with customers, industry influencers and strategic partners to cultivate an in-depth understanding of today’s enablement, skill development and skill validation challenges to ensure Skillable delivers industry-leading hands-on experiences designed to solve those problems. Frank’s core belief in these conversations is that people struggle to find the confidence to do their best work until they’ve had a chance to “actually do the work” – using the actual software, workflows and scenarios they’ll see on the job.

Throughout his career, Frank has been a catalyst for pushing the perceived boundaries of designing, delivering and scaling learning experiences that help people know they’re job ready. He thrives on helping people reach their potential and loves building businesses that enable people to make a positive impact.

While leading product teams at innovative companies like KnowledgeNet, Thomson NETg and iLinc Communications, Frank helped lead the transformation of traditional Instructor-led Training (ILT) to live virtual classroom experiences for partners like Cisco Systems, EMC, Microsoft, Salesforce, Global Knowledge, State Farm insurance, Takeda Pharmaceuticals and many more.

With Microsoft, Frank led Microsoft Virtual Academy (MVA, a predecessor to Microsoft Learn) to deliver hundreds of Microsoft product enablement experiences to 2M+ people per month. He created the Microsoft Jump Start series to help Microsoft product teams deliver global partner and customer enablement to global audiences. Most recently, Frank was CEO of Veeya, a boutique managed service provider focused on serving K-12 institutions with technology as a service designed to help educators focus on students, not technology.

Frank lives in Arizona with the loves of his life: his wife Rochelle and their four kids.
