"It has been deeply rewarding to serve as CFO during a transformative chapter for Coursera. I am immensely proud of our achievements over the past five years, strengthening our business, scaling our operations, and building an exceptionally talented team," Hahn said. "Having partnered closely with Greg this year, I have full confidence in the leadership team's continued progress and clarity of direction. It is a privilege to leave with the assurance that our strong financial foundation is positioned to accelerate Coursera's next phase of growth and value creation."
