We are a small but might team that is united and motivated by supporting Chegg’s mission to help students in their educational journey. We are also students ourselves...

We study our craft and work to be better at it. We study our world and our industry and how to increase value to our shareholders. We never stop learning.
We are business-minded people who have mastered Finance as our craft - we have a deep understanding of Chegg’s strategies and operations and consider them in the planning, forecasting, analysis, and insights we deliver to our business partners.
