ATLANTA, April 6, 2026 // PRNewswire // -- Code Ninjas today announced the appointment of Tyler Semerdjian as Chief Marketing Officer. Semerdjian brings more than 15 years of experience scaling consumer businesses across direct-to-consumer, marketplace, and sports platforms, with a track record of building high-performance marketing systems that drive measurable growth.

"Tyler is an exciting addition to the Code Ninjas team," said Navin Gurnaney, CEO of Code Ninjas. "He brings a thoughtful, systems-driven approach to growth and a strong track record of building marketing engines that deliver measurable results. Just as importantly, he understands how to translate that into real impact at the local level, which will be key as we continue to support our franchisees and strengthen performance across the network."

"The opportunity is in tightening the systems that connect marketing to enrollment outcomes and building the infrastructure that makes growth more predictable across the network."

As CMO, he will focus on building a more connected marketing ecosystem to improve lead flow, conversion, and retention, while evolving the brand's positioning to reflect the depth of its programming across coding for kids, robotics classes, and broader STEM offerings.
