SILICON SLOPES, Utah, April 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Pluralsight, the enterprise technology learning platform, today announced that its CEO and co-founder, Aaron Skonnard, and CMO, Heather Zynczak, will speak at the ASU + GSV Summit on Monday, May 8 at The Grand America in Salt Lake City, Utah. Both Skonnard and Zynczak will present on the importance of addressing the growing technology skills gap.

Skonnard will discuss the devastating impact of the estimated global shortage of approximately 40 million highly-skilled workers by 2020. He will share how Pluralsight is accelerating the way enterprise technology teams and professionals can learn these in-demand skills to increase their competitive advantage. Skonnard speaks at 2:00 p.m. MDT on the ASU + GSV Leader Track.

"Companies and individuals that aren't using the latest technology will fail," said Skonnard. "It doesn't matter what industry we're talking about — investing and integrating in new technologies, whether it's cyber security or AI, is one of the biggest differentiators today."

At 4:00 p.m. MDT, Zynczak will participate on the main stage panel, "Madmen: The Mission Critical Role of the CMO in the Future of Work" with Leela Srinivasan, CMO at Lever; Harsha Mokkarala, CMO at 2U; Kurt Apen, CMO at Coursera; and moderator Mikel Chertudi, modern marketing and sales executive at Adobe.
