Paul Slavin
Paul Slavin is the CEO of Skillshare, the New York online-learning marketplace, a role he stepped into in August 2025. He arrived by an unusual route: 33 years at ABC News, where he ran worldwide newsgathering, executive-produced World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, and collected a dozen Emmys and a Peabody before pivoting fully into digital. He went on to lead web video at Everyday Health, run the digital book publisher Open Road Integrated Media to profitability, advise on media M&A at Oaklins DeSilva+Phillips, and now steers a 30,000-class platform for creative learners and teachers worldwide.
Steve Alperin
Steve Alperin is the founder and CEO of SurvivorNet, the New York based media platform that turns dense cancer treatment research into clear, watchable guidance for patients and families. A former head writer and senior producer for Peter Jennings at ABC's World News Tonight and a two-time Writers Guild of America Award winner, Alperin built SurvivorNet in 2018 after his family's struggle to find reliable answers during his father's cancer. He pairs newsroom storytelling craft with the clinical rigor of leading physicians, reaching millions of survivors every month.
