NEWTON, Mass., Feb. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Examity, the nation's fastest-growing edtech company, today announced the appointment of former Certiport executive, Jim Holm as Chief Executive Officer. Examity founder and Chief Executive Officer Michael London, a serial Boston-based entrepreneur, has been appointed chairman of the company's board. For the last two years, Examity was named the fastest-growing edtech company in the United States by Deloitte.

"Jim joins the Examity team with deep insight into the increasingly dynamic landscape of assessment and learning validation," said London, who oversaw the firm's rapid growth and innovation since its inception in 2013.
