Austin, TX – Territorium has announced that Dr. Juan “Kiko” Suarez has joined the company as Vice President of Higher Education & Workforce Development Growth for the U.S. market.

“Territorium brings the power of A.I. to help students develop the competencies and skills that employers are looking for, keeping their progress in a fully verifiable, portable, and comprehensive digital learner record,” Suarez said. “Through a state-of-the-art digital platform for managing assessments, learning outcomes, competencies, and skills, and integrated with their LMS,” Suarez continued, “institutions of higher education and workforce development agencies will be able to create a formidable bridge between education and the job market for millions of learners in the United States.
