HERNDON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Education industry veteran Sean Ryan has joined Fuel
Education® (FuelEd®), a leading provider of online and blended
learning solutions for students in grades K–12, as Senior Vice President
and General Manager.
“Sean has a passion for improving education and a track record of
success leading the digital content, curriculum, and technology platform
businesses of several well-respected education companies,” said Stuart
J. Udell, Chief Executive Officer of K12 Inc., Fuel Education’s parent
company. “Fuel Education has one of industry’s largest catalogs of
digital curriculum, and a staff with deep implementation expertise. Sean
is the right person to further its mission of helping schools and
districts meet the needs of more of their students through online and
blended learning.”
Mr. Ryan comes to Fuel Education from McGraw-Hill Education where he
served as Senior Vice President of Sales, Service and Platform for the

Office for their new platform development initiative. He also worked at

“As much as the education landscape has shifted over the span of my
professional experience, the promise of education technology remains
largely unrealized. In many ways, we are still just getting started,”
Ryan said. “That is why I am thrilled to join FuelEd and the larger K12,
Inc. team. Before us, in partnership with dedicated educators, we have
the opportunity to make greater progress in less time at lower
cost. Yet, the application of technology in the learning process is only
meaningful if it empowers teachers to help their students achieve
improved outcomes.”

the U.S. Air Force as a military intelligence officer. He earned a
Bachelor of Science in Soviet Studies and Russian from the United States
Air Force Academy, a Master of Arts in International Relations from the
