Portrait of Tonya Weathers

I build and lead learning programs that move the numbers leaders care about.

15+ years leading learning end to end across healthcare, telecom, and SaaS — originating instructional-design functions, leading the teams that run them, managing compliance programs for 5,000+ employees, and owning customer and technical education for 10,000+ external users. Every program is tied to a business KPI.
