WAYNE, PA — Frontline Education has appointed Joel Sackett as its new Chief Product Officer, a move that signals the company’s ongoing push to elevate its education technology offerings and expand its reach in the K-12 sector.
With nearly 20 years of experience in product leadership roles across education and enterprise SaaS, Sackett joins Frontline at a critical juncture in its growth strategy. His career includes leadership stints at Ellucian, Momentus Technologies, and Hobsons, where he guided product strategy, drove innovation, and built high-performing teams aligned with client outcomes.
At Frontline, Sackett will lead product management, design, and product operations. He is expected to spearhead the development of intuitive, scalable solutions powered by artificial intelligence and emerging technologies—aimed at reducing administrative burdens and delivering measurable results for school districts.
“Joel is a strategic product leader with a deep understanding of education technology and a passion for solving complex challenges through thoughtful design,” said Matt Strazza, CEO of Frontline Education. “He brings the experience and vision we need to guide the next phase of our product strategy—and ensure our solutions continue to meet the evolving needs of the districts we serve.”
Sackett’s appointment comes as Frontline doubles down on innovation across key service areas, including human capital management, business operations, and student support programs. His leadership is expected to enhance the company’s ability to deliver tools that simplify day-to-day challenges for educators and administrators.
“Frontline’s commitment to empowering educators with smart, practical tools really resonates with me,” Sackett said. “I’m excited to roll up my sleeves and work alongside this talented team to create products that simplify day-to-day challenges and make a real difference in schools.”
Sackett’s addition reinforces Frontline’s broader mission: to support K-12 leaders through solutions that improve efficiency, optimize resources, and enable better educational outcomes. As districts face growing demands, his focus on aligning product strategy with frontline needs will be central to the company’s next phase of development.
