Overview

Ceresa uses technology and data to give access to leadership development and career management through a virtual learning platform. The company combines research-based curriculum, focused executive coaching, expert instruction, and personalized external mentoring delivered via an engaging technology platform. Its platform is used by globally leading companies such as Nordstrom, Walmart, and Blackstone. Ceresa first launched its virtual, multi-modal learning experience in 2018 to expand access to world-class coaching and mentoring for under-represented talent. As of today the company delivers courses that deepen self-awareness, critical business skills, wellness, and resiliency for thousands of leaders across top-tier tech, retail, finance, and consumer companies. The company is led by founder and CEO Anna Robinson. Ceresa provides a 100% virtual, tech-enabled Leadership Accelerator combining research-based curriculum, executive coaching, expert instruction, and personalized external mentoring via an engaging platform. The company targets the leadership access gap by democratizing transformative leadership development for aspiring leaders and employers. Since its recent full launch Ceresa has attracted hundreds of users from top-tier corporations and reports industry-leading engagement rates (90%+) and strong satisfaction ratings. The platform is positioned as an affordable, turnkey solution for employers of all sizes, from startups to Fortune 500s, with measurable KPIs to track impact. Ceresa was founded to address lack of access to mentors, role models, and leadership resources for underrepresented groups and emphasizes whole-person leadership and intentional career management. The company plans to use new funding to deepen product development of its data-driven, personalized platform and expand value to users and employer clients.
