A European leader in distance learning solutions, CrossKnowledge is opening its first

The French company, founded in 2000, has established itself in less than ten years in
Europe (Belgium, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland) and in
Asia. Today, it generates 50% of its revenue internationally. By opening its New York
office, CrossKnowledge is confirming its desire to grow in the United States. Over the
next 12 to 18 months, it aims to work directly with 40 clients.

Mickael Ohana, CEO and co-founder of CrossKnowledge, is heading the development of the
company in the United States with a team of four sales and project managers. “Setting up
our own office in New York is a very important stage in the company’s international
development. By establishing a presence in the U.S.A., CrossKnowledge is demonstrating its
commitment to be a local partner for its clients and partners in North America,” Mickael
Ohana said.

In addition to the performance of its solutions, CrossKnowledge’s strength lies in the
quality of its training content, which is acclaimed by American users. CrossKnowledge
offers more than 15,000 e-learning resources in management and leadership, available in 16
languages and developed by CrossKnowledge Faculty, a team of the best professors and
authors from the most internationally renowned business schools, such as Harvard, Wharton,
Stanford, IMD, HEC and ESSEC. “Our solutions incorporate exclusive learning formats and
high added-value content, thus guaranteeing an excellent utilization rate. This is an
important point as regards the U.S. e-learning market, which, although mature, still
suffers from low utilization rates,” Mickael Ohana said.

CrossKnowledge has been selected among the Top 20 Learning Portal Companies in 2012 by
Trainingindustry.com, the U.S. website that is a reference in the world of corporate
training. This recognition attests to the quality of CrossKnowledge’s solutions.
