Molenaar has recently been recognised as the Top Commercial Leader 2019 in France at the Action Co Business Awards, the leading Business Magazine of French Commerce Business, in part because of her focus on diversity and inclusion in her teams.

"Instructure has the best of both worlds: game-changing technology and a progressive and mission-orientated team that can help businesses and educators deliver compelling and engaging digital learning," commented Molenaar. "There is a clear market opportunity ahead as we double down on our focus on education and innovation in the year ahead."
