OXFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wilson Language Training is pleased to announce the appointment of Ewan McCulloch as Chief People Officer, and Mario LaRue as Chief Financial Officer beginning March 1, 2023.
McCulloch brings with him a wealth of expertise developed during his international career in human resources and general management leadership roles, most recently at The Cengage Group and Staples. He has experience in publicly traded and private equity backed businesses across a range of sectors including banking and finance, retail, energy, and education technology.
“Literacy is an incredible gateway to build skills, and an interconnector across learning and development. Without it, too many are unable to fulfill their potential. To play a part in improving this for millions of children and young adults is exciting, invigorating, and an honor,” McCulloch said.

Prior to joining Bonterra, he spent 6 years as Vice President of Finance of Clarabridge, where he helped lead the organization through a $1B+ strategic sale. LaRue also spent close to a decade at Blackboard and helped facilitate its growth as a large global public company, playing a key role in its successful sale to Providence Equity Partners to take the company private.
As CFO, he will lead Wilson’s financial activities including accounting and controllership, financial planning and analysis, tax, investor relations, internal audit, and treasury.
