Sal Khan is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Khan Academy. The Academy’s mission is to provide a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere using a learning platform comprised of instructional videos, practice exercises, dashboard analytics, and teacher tools which empower learners inside and outside the classroom to learn at their own pace.

Khan holds three degrees from MIT and a MBA from Harvard Business School. He was recognized as one of TIME Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World” in 2012.
