My goal is to improve business outcomes in ways that are efficient, visually pleasing, and results-oriented.
My name is Ashkan (Ash) Salem. I'm a learning expert based in Columbus, Ohio. I've worked in the Learning and Development field for the last 12 years and am lucky to have learned different methods for creating and delivering learning experiences to adult learners. The majority of my career was working at Verizon, designing and launching onboarding training programs for a variety of channels. This exposure to intentional, data-driven, and results-oriented design helped bring me to where I am today.
I'm currently working as a Manager for a large company within the industrial sector to help drive talent progression, career pathing, onboarding, and continuous learning. This has allowed me to think differently and customize more to the learner than ever before.
Throughout my career, I've developed a love of learning and what it means to employees. I firmly believe that a strong training program can be the first domino that will usher in career development for a company.
I enjoy traveling, hiking, and spending time with my family in my free time. Columbus has been a great home for us and we're excited to have welcomed our first child and experiencing the rollercoaster that is parenthood.
