Cheryl Lasse is SkillDirector’s Managing Partner. Cheryl has extensive experience with competency model development and implementation, and enjoys sharing her knowledge and passion.  She believes people are intrinsically motivated to excel, if they are given access to a competency model for their role, the opportunity to assess themselves against that model, and personalized learning to help them close gaps and meet aspirational goals. This philosophy has been embodied in the Self-Directed Learning Engine, designed to make people great at their jobs. 

Cheryl has a strong background in consulting, marketing, and sales, mostly in tech companies, where training has played a chief role throughout her career. She holds bachelor’s degrees from Syracuse University in computer science and HR, and an MBA from the University of South Florida.
