Head of Digital Marketing, Zensai

Zensai is not a new company - since 2009 (when it was known as Elearningforce), it has been embedded in Microsoft products, at first in SharePoint but more recently in the Office 365 suite and Teams. This tight integration gives it an advantage over competitors such as Workday or Eloomi, where users need to adapt to a new environment (and remember to tab over to it!). This means Zensai doesn't need to focus on developing integrations with other ecosystems, and gives it an enormous addressable market of a third of a billion users.

Already boasting a large customer base, including enterprises such as Pepsi, Maersk and Hellmann, Zensai raised funding in an investment round led by Blue Cloud Ventures in 2023. This investment is being channelled into a major growth drive, fuelling expansion through strategic acquisitions in the US, Germany and Australia. It seems well poised to build a commanding lead in the learning management space.
