Derek Pead has been appointed CEO of e-learning design and development company The Training Room Online. The former executive director at Metropolitan Life and current CEO of Lion of Africa Life Assurance Company, who has served as chairman at The Training Room Online since August 2011, will bring his extensive leadership experience to the strategic running of the company starting 1 January 2013.
"We believe South Africa is going to become a global destination for e-learning and The Training Room Online is going to lead the way," says Kirsty Chadwick, MD and founder. "We have seen exponential growth over the past 24 months, having expanded nationally and increased our workforce from eight to 48. With Pead at the helm, we will continue this rate of growth and we will go on to be a driving force in the local and international industry."

A professional coach

Pead will bring extensive experience in financial services and business coaching to The Training Room Online. He is a professional executive coach who has coached executives from a number of high profile companies and served as a mentor for the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation Fellowship Programme since its inception.

"The future of e-learning is highly promising," says Pead. "It's a growth industry that is seeing increasing investment by major players in the mining, financial services and retail industries both globally and locally. The Training Room Online has experienced phenomenal success since it was founded in 2008 and I look forward to playing an active role in guiding further expansion."
