The International Society for Technology in Education and its CEO, Brian Lewis, have parted ways, the organization announced last week, in an unexpected leadership change at the top of the prominent ed-tech organization.

ISTE officials did not give a reason for Lewis’ exit from the organization. He could not be reached for comment.

Lewis was named ISTE’s chief executive officer in 2012. Before joining ISTE, he had been the chief strategy officer and interim CEO for the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
