Kaplan Australia on hunt for new CEO
Mark Coggins, president of Kaplan’s Asia Pacific operations, is overseeing the Australia operations while the group searches for a replacement.
Jacobson’s resignation took effect on December 31, with the outgoing chief executive saying it was time for him to “move on and explore new opportunities”.
Jacobson stepped into the role of chief executive in 2006 when US-based company Kaplan, part of the Washington Post group, acquired Tribeca Learning. Tribeca was then headed up by Adam Davis.
Kaplan then went on to acquire the education arm of Finsia in 2007, merging the two education businesses together.
