Hack Reactor Reorganizes, Acquires Mobile Makers Academy

GOING THE ALPHABET ROUTE: Hack Reactor has reorganized its eight schools into a network of independently operated education companies owned by a new umbrella organization: Hack Reactor Core. Core has appointed Anthony Phillips, former CEO of Hack Reactor, as its new CEO and has made Hack Reactor Dean Caroline Esmurdoc CEO of the original school.
