Welcome Leonard Napolitano
We’re excited to welcome Leonard Napolitano to the ElevenX Capital team as our new Chief Value Creation Officer (CVCO), starting December 8, 2025!
About Leonard Napolitano
If you’ve spent any time in EdTech, you’ve probably heard of Napolitano – he’s one of the true OGs of the space. As one of the early builders at Blackboard, he helped shape the company’s rise and, in many ways, the rise of modern EdTech itself.
In the 25+ years since, he’s led teams as CEO, President, CRO, COO, and EVP across companies like Blackboard, Parchment, Capture Higher Ed, and Presidium. He also serves as a trustee at Centre College, where he co-leads the Academic Success Committee.
We’re thrilled to have him on board and can’t wait for the impact he’ll make.
