Key Terms

saas technical

SaaS, or Software as a Service, is a way of delivering computer programs over the internet, allowing users to access and use them through a web browser without needing to install or maintain the software themselves. For investors, it highlights a business model where companies generate recurring revenue by providing ongoing access to their software, often leading to predictable income and growth potential.

cloud platforms technical

Cloud platforms are remote computing services that host data, applications and processing power on shared servers accessed over the internet, similar to renting electricity instead of owning a generator. For investors, they matter because they turn tech into recurring subscription revenue, enable rapid customer growth with lower upfront costs, and signal how well a business can scale, cut IT expenses and protect data — all factors that affect profitability and valuation.

genai technical

Generative AI (genai) is a type of artificial intelligence designed to create new content, such as text, images, or music, that resembles human-produced work. It matters to investors because it has the potential to transform industries by automating tasks, enhancing creativity, and enabling new products and services, which can influence company performance and market opportunities.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Chegg, Inc. (NYSE: CHGG), a global learning company, today announced that Karine Allouche will join Busuu, Chegg’s language learning business, as General Manager of Language Learning, Worldwide, and Skills Integration, Europe, effective February 9, 2026.

Karine Allouche

In her role, Karine will focus on strengthening execution, accelerating growth, and deepening collaboration across the company, in partnership with Chegg’s leadership team and the board. In addition to leading language learning, Karine will own Chegg’s European commercial engine and play a key role in shaping how language and skills come together in a unified go-to-market strategy.

Karine has vast experience in building and transforming global enterprise businesses across education technology, SaaS, and cloud platforms. Most recently, she served as Vice President and General Manager of Enterprise at Coursera, where she led the turnaround of the company’s $239 million enterprise business — reversing a multi-year decline and repositioning it for growth in the GenAI economy.

“Karine is an exceptional leader with a proven track record of driving enterprise growth and positioning organizations to succeed in the GenAI economy, as it becomes increasingly skills-first,” said Dan Rosensweig, Chief Executive Officer of Chegg. “We are thrilled to welcome her to Chegg as we continue to innovate in the rapidly expanding language learning and skilling market, giving more learners around the world the tools they need to unlock opportunities throughout their careers.”

Prior to her role at Coursera, Karine was the Vice President of Cloud and Data Services at NetApp, a data infrastructure company, where she grew significant cloud ARR growth through new GTM models with hyperscaler partners. Earlier in her career, Karine also served as CEO of GlobalEnglish, where she led a management buyout, rebuilt the business around SaaS and AI-powered learning, and negotiated the strategic sale that created the world’s largest online corporate language training company.

“Language and skills are fundamental to opportunity; they give people a voice and the ability to adapt to the world of work,” said Karine Allouche, General Manager of Language Learning, Worldwide, and Skills Integration, Europe. “Chegg and Busuu have built powerful learner-first experiences. I’m excited to work with the team to scale that impact, connect learning more closely to real outcomes, and support learners and organizations worldwide as the future of work continues to evolve.”
