Greg Hart, a long-time Amazon executive, is translating lessons from Amazon leadership into Coursera’s push to scale workforce upskilling, particularly in generative AI. Hart told reporters he restructured the company around leadership mindsets and accelerated product development as employer demand for AI courses exploded; Coursera now lists more than 1,100 generative-AI courses. Hart credited Amazon’s culture of high standards and customer focus for shaping Coursera’s operational changes.

For university continuing-education units and academic partners, Coursera’s trajectory signals heightened competition and potential partnership opportunities in credentialing and enterprise learning markets.
