My ultimate goal is to make our training programs more engaging, interactive, and relevant for all learners, regardless of their experience level, empowering them with the tools they need." 

Fisher complements James's skillset with her strong background in visual design and passion for conveying complex information in an engaging way. She is excited to apply her skills translating technical information into easily digestible content for learners. 

“Through scenario-based learning and the incorporation of contextual elements, I aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice, empowering our channel partners and end users to better understand our hardware and software,” Fisher noted. 

Scott Bell, training solutions lead, is excited about the future of Gallagher's training platforms with the addition of Robinson and Fisher.

"We have ambitious goals to deliver the best learning experiences," he said. “We’ve strengthened our training platforms with the recent releases of Virtual Classroom and Augmented Reality, providing immersive and interactive learning, and our training content is set to follow suit.
