Press Release - London, 28th January 2025
François has extensive experience in personalised adaptive learning having led the technical team at Domoscio before merging with Rise Up.
Rise Up, Europe’s leading all-in-one learning platform, has reaffirmed its commitment to adaptive learning with the appointment of François Thiounn, former General Manager at Domoscio, as its Head of Product.
This strategic move follows Rise Up’s acquisition of Domoscio last year, which signalled the company’s intention to create one-on-one learning experiences at an unprecedented scale. François joined the team following the merger and managed the native integration of the Domoscio Adaptive Learning Engine into Rise Up’s LMS, which will go live to customers in 2025.
In his new role, François will be instrumental in driving Rise Up’s skills-driven approach, integrating personalised learning directly into the flow of work (LIFOW) to ensure learners engage with training when they need it most and accelerating time-to-skill in a culture of continuous learning.
On his appointment, François said: “At Domoscio, we focused on harnessing the power of AI to personalise learning, and now, as part of Rise Up, we have the opportunity to bring that vision to life on a much larger scale. Together, we’re redefining what’s possible in adaptive learning—making it faster, smarter, and more impactful for organisations and learners alike."
