About Lambda20 years in learning technology

Twenty years in learning technology, built one customer at a time.

We started as a consulting practice. Two decades later, we’re the team behind learning platforms that serve two million learners across the industries where training actually matters.

Lambda has spent 20 years in one field: learning technology for organizations whose training is central to how they operate — associations, healthcare, regulated enterprises, and commercial training providers. We didn’t get here by pivoting or by chasing markets. We got here by doing the work, one customer at a time, and building the tools we wished existed while we did it.

01 · OriginServices first, product second

How Lambda came to be.

Lambda began as a services business — a consulting practice helping organizations stand up and run open learning platforms. We weren’t trying to build a product. We were trying to solve the problem in front of us, for the customer in front of us.

What turned Lambda into a product company was repetition. Customers kept asking for the same things: a real way to sell their courses, a real way to see what their training was actually doing, hosting and support that treated their platform as mission-critical rather than a side project. The tools available couldn’t do those things well — so we built them.

That’s how Lambda Store™ and Zoola Analytics™ came to exist, and it’s why our hosting, implementation, and support look the way they do. Every part of what we sell today started as something a customer needed and couldn’t get anywhere else.

We grew because customers kept coming back and kept asking for more — not because we raised a round and went looking for a market. Twenty years later, that’s still how we grow.

02 · What we doAnd why we still do it

What we do — and why we’re still doing it.

Lambda delivers Moodle™ and Totara™ — the two leading open learning platforms — with hosting, implementation, integrations, and 24/7 support. Alongside them, we build and maintain Lambda Store™, the branded eCommerce layer for selling learning, and Zoola Analytics™, the reporting platform for making sense of learning, revenue, and compliance data.

We chose open-source platforms because we believe the alternative — locking customers into a proprietary system they can’t leave — is a bad way to build a durable business. Twenty years in, most of our customers are still with us. That’s the only proof we care about.

Small, senior, and still here.

The people running Lambda are the people in the customer conversations.

Shevy Levy

Co-Founder & CEO

Shevy founded Lambda Solutions in 2002 and has led it ever since, building a cloud-based, open-source learning platform on Moodle™ and Totara™ that now supports more than half a million learners every day. Under her leadership, Lambda has served enterprise clients across healthcare, education, and corporate training — from Mt. Sinai Hospital to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. She holds an M.Sc. from Simon Fraser University and a B.Sc. in Mathematics from the Technion.

Naama Sireni

VP of Revenue

Naama owns revenue and go-to-market strategy at Lambda, with a track record of building GTM engines from scratch and closing six-figure ARR deals in B2B enterprise SaaS. Over 12+ years she’s risen through operations, services, and sales leadership, bringing full P&L ownership and a knack for inspiring high-performing teams. She holds an MBA in International Business from Oxford Brookes University and mentors women entrepreneurs on the side.

Ilana Binenbaum

Director of Customer Relations

Ilana is often the first person customers get to know at Lambda, and a trusted partner for years to come. She starts by listening: what are you trying to build, who are your learners, and what does your team need to do its best work? From there, she helps you shape a plan that fits your goals and your budget. Through launch, upgrades, new capabilities and renewals, she offers honest guidance about what she would do in your place. She brings a background in customer success, partner channels and enterprise sales, with years of helping healthcare organizations, associations and training providers navigate their Moodle and Totara decisions. Nothing makes her happier than seeing a customer's team succeed.

Sam McCullough

Director of Customer Operations

Sam runs Lambda's client-facing operations and leads the support team customers rely on every day. When something breaks, or when you want to try something new, his team responds quickly, explains clearly and stays with you until it works, from a quick question to a full technology transition. Many on the team have been with Lambda for years, so the people helping you know your platform and its history. Sam has grown with the company for more than a decade, from application support specialist to director, and brings a strong technical foundation, including an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner credential and a Business Information Technology diploma from BCIT.

Behind the leadership team is a small, senior group of engineers, implementers, designers, and support specialists — many with a decade or more at Lambda. Every one of them talks to customers.

04 · What we believePositions, not posters

What we believe about learning technology.

Open beats proprietary.

Customers should own their data, their content, and their exit path — not be held in place by a system they can’t leave.

Software is a service, not a product.

How well the platform runs is as important as what the platform does. Hosting and support aren’t an afterthought; they’re the job.

Small teams beat big ones in specialized markets.

Depth of expertise, not scale, is what makes complex implementations actually succeed.

Long customer relationships are the only real proof.

Twenty years of renewals matter more than any marketing claim we could make.
