Former KPMG CLO Mike Mather Joins Yoodli as Chief Learning Advisor The learning leader behind development programs for one of the world's largest professional services firms will help Yoodli customers turn practice into skills people actually use on the job

SEATTLE, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Yoodli, the AI Platform for Human Skills, today announced that Mike Mather, former Chief Learning Officer at KPMG, has joined the company as Chief Learning Advisor. In the role, Mather will work directly with Yoodli customers and the product team to shape how organizations enable their workforce for the AI future.

As Chief Learning Officer of KPMG US from 2023 to September 2026, Mather led the firm's work to prepare its workforce for the AI and digital age. In 2023, KPMG was named Chief Learning Officer magazine's LearningElite Organization of the Year. Before that, he led KPMG's Workforce Transformation and Development practice and spent more than two decades as a partner at EY, IBM and PwC, advising Fortune 100 organizations on HR and learning transformation. He is a Chartered Accountant (Canada) and holds an MBA.

At Yoodli, he will advise customers on building readiness programs that move beyond course completions to measurable behavior change. Yoodli is already used by some of the world's largest sales enablement and learning teams, including Google, Databricks, FranklinCovey, Korn Ferry and Snowflake, for AI tool training, manager coaching and go-to-market enablement. He will also bring the CLO's perspective into Yoodli's product roadmap as the company builds out its AI Platform for Human Skills, pairing realistic AI-powered practice with coaching and measurement so new skills get applied on the job, not just learned.

"Learning leaders don't need another place to send people. They need proof that their people are ready," said Varun Puri, co-founder and CEO of Yoodli. "Mike has run learning at a scale few people ever see, and he knows exactly what CLOs are measured on. He'll help our customers get to real outcomes faster."

"For most of my career, the hardest part of L&D was the gap between training and the moment someone actually has to perform," said Mike Mather, Chief Learning Advisor at Yoodli. "Yoodli closes that gap. I'm excited to help learning teams use it to show the business what readiness really looks like."
