R.J. Fox

R.J. Fox is the Chief Marketing Officer at Teaching Strategies, where he shapes how we create, communicate & deliver value for educators around the world, empowering them to seed a lifetime of curiosity and possibility.

R.J. has more than 20 years of experience building and scaling marketing organizations in the software industry. Before joining Teaching Strategies, he spent 13 years at LinkedIn in various leadership roles within Marketing. Most recently, he led Marketing for LinkedIn’s Talent business, helping reaccelerate growth in its global, multi-billion-dollar business serving talent and hiring professionals. Prior to that he played a key role in launching and scaling the LinkedIn Learning business.

For R.J., the mission of Teaching Strategies is close to home. Some of his earliest memories are of visiting the preschool classroom where his mom taught early in her career. His aunt was also a preschool teacher, and his grandmother ran learning centers in the DC area. He believes deeply that giving educators the tools and support to do their best work can give every child a stronger start – and plant the seeds for a lifetime of opportunity.

That commitment to expanding opportunity extends beyond Teaching Strategies. R.J. serves on the board of Upwardly Global, a nonprofit helping immigrants and refugees restart their professional careers in the United States, and has served as an advisor to Ameelio and Emerge Career, organizations committed to using technology to help transform America’s correctional system.

R.J. received a bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Southern California and an MBA from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business. He is an avid music fan currently trying to learn piano and can occasionally be found on a river getting outsmarted by the local fish population.
