At Nasdaq, staying ahead of the fast-moving pace of technological skills is a company priority. For Matthew Wells, the Global Head of Career Development, partnering with Udemy has been a game-changer in keeping pace with the tech curve. The extensive course offerings on Udemy Business empower employees with the skills needed to meet strategic goals while adapting to the speed of innovation.

For Nasdaq, the value of a strategic employee development program lies in its ability to equip teams with the skills they need to achieve tomorrow’s successes. From AI enablement to cross-functional business skills, Matthew finds there are meaningful training opportunities for every employee, regardless of role, within the Udemy learning offerings. 

Matthew understands the complementary nature between emotional intelligence (EQ) and artificial intelligence (AI). “Emotional intelligence is really all about what’s happening inside of you, how you relate to other people, the interconnection that we have,” he says. “Artificial intelligence is enabling us to become more efficient, more effective at what we do. That combination is extremely powerful.”

His learning and development team recently bridged the two worlds of EQ and AI with the launch of the “Leading with AI program,” which saw record-breaking engagement at Nasdaq, filling over 60 learner seats on its first day.

With offerings that cater to diverse needs and a focus on nurturing both technical and human-centric skills, Udemy has become an invaluable partner in Nasdaq’s AI journey. As Matthew sees it, Udemy isn’t just a learning platform‌ — ‌it’s a cornerstone in building a future-ready workforce.
