Humentum is excited to announce the appointment of Chris Proulx and Jocelyn Boughton as Co-Chief Executive Officers by the board of directors, effective immediately.
Chris most recently held the role as the Chief Growth Officer at Humentum where he oversaw all global growth initiatives as well as programming, marketing, and thought leadership. Additionally, he spearheaded capacity accompaniment initiatives with the Mastercard Foundation and CGAP. As the former CEO of LINGOs, he increased revenue by 60% and played a pivotal role in the merger that created Humentum in 2017. Previously, Chris spent over twenty years working at the intersection of learning and technology, with ten years as the CEO of eCornell, where he grew revenue nearly ten-fold and led the vision for Cornell’s first fully online Executive Master’s program.
“I am honored to be jointly leading Humentum at a time when the sector is adapting to new realities. Humentum plays a critical and unique role guiding social good organizations from talk to action through our training, facilitated networking and membership, and consulting engagements. We are charting the path forward with doers and thinkers for a future thriving and resilient ecosystem,” said Chris.
Jocelyn joined Humentum in 2018 and most recently held the role of Chief Finance & Operations Officer. Jocelyn oversaw all finance, IT, and HR functions as well as administration that aligned Humentum’s internal approach with financial sustainability. Before joining Humentum, she served as the Chief Finance Officer at Malaria Consortium, supporting income growth from £12 million to £55 million. Prior, Jocelyn held executive roles in the nonprofit sector at Lloyds TSB Foundation, the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust, and VSO in Nepal.
“Three things set us apart as Humentum – we are a trusted guide because we’ve been in your seat, we amplify the power of the collective through our deep sector networks and solution co-creation, and we deliver tangible outcomes for our clients that result in positive, lasting change,” said Jocelyn. “I’m thrilled to jointly lead a values-driven organization where our three uniques can shine and advance social good organizations at a pivotal turning point in their operating model.”
This strategic leadership transition marks a new chapter in Humentum’s mission to strengthen organizations’ resilience for sustainable success. Together, Chris and Jocelyn are committed to furthering Humentum’s mission and vision.
“At Humentum we believe together we can create real change,” said Bruce Wilkinson, Chair of Humentum’s Board of Directors. “I’m confident that Chris and Jocelyn’s leadership and fresh perspectives will guide Humentum into a new phase of strategic growth. Through their deep belief and passion, they will ensure our mission and vision is not only preserved, but elevated so that we can continue to deliver impactful operating-model focused outcomes.”
Chris and Jocelyn held the role of interim Co-CEOs after the departure of Dr. Christine Sow in March.
