Nicole Helmer is the Chief Product Officer at Degreed, leading the evolution of enterprise learning with a skills-first, AI-powered approach. She is driving Degreed’s vision to personalize learning, measure impact, and scale with AI—ensuring organizations can anticipate and adapt to change, not just react to it.
Before Degreed, Nicole was VP of Learning & Development at SAP, where she led skill development for over 100,000 employees and spearheaded SAP’s transformation into a skills-based organization. She built foundational systems for skills measurement, taxonomy, and job architecture. This work earned SAP recognition as a skills lighthouse company by the World Economic Forum in 2024.
