Bonnie has chosen to spend the majority of her career at companies sitting at pivotal moments of transformation. Most recently she took on the challenge of building Cengage Learning’s Consumer Marketing team from the ground up, while launching the education industry’s first-ever course material subscription service, Cengage Unlimited.
