Joe Gottlieb

President Joe Gottlieb is responsible for corporate strategy, product portfolio management, analytics, and marketing. His role ensures that Higher Digital’s business, product lines, and supporting functions are continuously pursuing an intentional vision through an explicit and well-understood strategy for customer value. He also supports customers with strategy development, change management, and strategic operations, energized by the complex challenges and profound opportunities facing higher education.
