    Pearson Appoints Experienced Company Executive Sharon Hague as President of English Language Learning

    Sharon brings a proven track record of leading successful global teams and driving growth at Pearson. She most recently served as Managing Director, Pearson School Qualifications and School Assessments. In that role, she has been responsible for the delivery of school and K-12 qualifications and assessments across the US, UK, and international markets.  Sharon has continually increased the number of students Pearson has reached with its high stakes qualifications.

    Omar Abbosh, Pearson CEO, said, "Sharon has been instrumental in transforming our school qualifications, assessments, teaching and learning services. I have every confidence that she will carry on the success of our ELL business. She is focused on keeping learners and educators at the centre of all we do. When you combine her love for lifelong learning and her track record for driving growth with tech-powered solutions, you get a very accomplished leader.

    "I also want to thank Gio for his contributions during his twelve years at Pearson. I've always appreciated Gio's intense focus, drive, and ambition for the business. He put Pearson on the map in many multinational markets, significantly expanding our footprint and our product portfolio with his unique entrepreneurial spirit. He has unleashed a world of language learning and skills opportunities across the globe, improving the lives of millions of people."
