David Rogier is the founder and CEO of MasterClass, the streaming platform where the world’s best come together so anyone, anywhere, can learn from and be inspired by their knowledge and stories. Growing up, Rogier loved learning but often struggled in school. Determined to reinvent the traditional model and provide lifelong learning opportunities for everyone, he created MasterClass in 2015. His vision was to capture, share and preserve invaluable knowledge and stories from the world’s best so future generations could access and appreciate them. MasterClass has since transformed the lifelong-learning category providing unprecedented access to 150+ of the world’s best practitioners. With classes on a wide range of subjects, MasterClass has grown into one of the largest online learning platforms in the world. In 2020, Rogier was recognized on Fortune's “40 Under 40” list as one of the most influential leaders in media and entertainment, and as one of Hollywood’s New Leaders in Variety.
