Since graduating with an MBA from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley, Din has held multiple management and turnaround positions in education. He joined BrainPOP in 2007 as Chief Operating Officer and General Manager, part of what he refers to as an All Star leadership team that has grown the company's footprint in the K-12 space, at schools and in homes. Prior to that he served for multiple years as a career diplomat, having what he refers to as "the time of his life". He's a skeptic of those who question the potential for innovation in education, and he doesn't react well to presentations that claim that education hasn't changed since the advent of the industrial age.
