Grounding quotes
  • “FY 2026 was about turning that strategy into execution.”
  • “FY2026 demonstrated the financial durability of the business as we operated with discipline and continued to fund our transformation in a highly uncertain environment.”
  • “I'm actually more comfortable that there's more point solutions that the customers will want to learn to over time migrate into a full skills lifecycle management, which our skills management positioning will be excellent as we progress on that journey”
  • “So as I look at 27, it's a year of growth. We're going to try to prove ourselves growth in the revenue.”
