Spear Education: EdTech and Community Platform Growth Strategy

Spear Education is a market-leading dental continuing education company with a portfolio of learning, community, event, and practice growth products for dental professionals.

The business needed to improve renewal economics, increase engagement, modernize live and group learning experiences, and create scalable product-led growth opportunities across a $20M+ ARR portfolio.

I led product vision, strategy, roadmap, and execution across Study Clubs, Faculty Club, Spear Events, Referrals, and Practice Intelligence. My work connected learner behavior, market evidence, CE requirements, community dynamics, and revenue goals into a multi-year product strategy.

I launched an integrated scheduling, live meeting, and community platform that improved renewal rates by 28% and contributed $9M+ in ARR growth. I also launched a content discovery experience that increased live class completions by 21%, a faculty-led group learning product that generated $2.1M in ARR impact, and instructor acquisition tools that improved invite efficiency by approximately 70%.
