Kelli’s Bio:
Kelli Campbell has been at the forefront of the digital revolution in K-12 education throughout her career.
A distinguished leader in the education sector, Kelli joined Acceleration Academies as Chief Executive Officer in 2023 with a passion for transforming the way education is delivered and a commitment to giving at-risk and disengaged students a second chance at a life that will make them and their families proud.
Over the past two years, Kelli has led Acceleration Academies through a period of remarkable growth, expanding the organization’s mission to re-engage students and support school districts nationwide. Under her leadership, the Acceleration Academies has launched new academy locations, forged strategic partnerships with districts seeking innovative education solutions, and enhanced the flexible, student-centered learning model. She has prioritized investment in technology, enhanced facilities, curriculum development, and educator training to ensure every student receives the personalized support they need to succeed. Through her vision and dedication, Acceleration Academies continues to enhance the K-12 landscape, empowering more learners to earn their high school diplomas and build brighter futures.
Prior to joining Acceleration Academies, Kelli spent 17 years at Discovery Education in various leadership roles. As President, she directed all aspects of the organization’s customer lifecycle management and oversaw the company’s domestic U.S. K-12 book of business from sales and marketing to enablement and operations. Kelli also served as the company’s President of International and University — leading the development of innovative partnerships with Ministries of Education in Egypt, Chile, and with channel partners worldwide. She also led the creation and launch of the Discovery Education’s Techbook line of business. In 2015, she served on the committee that developed President Barack Obama’s “Digital Textbook Playbook.”
Previously, Kelli served as Vice President of Marketing & Product Development at Clearvue & SVE. An early pioneer in using cloud-based digital content for instruction, she also directed the creation, launch, and distribution of the award-winning PowerMediaPlus.com media-on-demand system.
With more than 25 years of EdTech leadership experience, Kelli has a history in meeting revenue and profitability goals, operating a business, M&A integration, and private equity value creation. She has worked in both large corporations and small start-ups, with ownership structures ranging from private equity, to single owner, to publicly held companies.
