LINQ (formerly Global Education Management Systems) provides K-12 software solutions for school districts, led by CEO Sharon Love.
Global Education Management Systems
LINQ, previously known through legacy brands including Meals Plus and TITAN, operates as a K-12 software platform. The company's leadership includes CEO Sharon Love, CTO Eric Wood, and CRO Sharron Bragg. LINQ's mission is to empower K-12 leaders by bringing efficiency and insight to district operations. The strategy centers on a suite of purpose-built software for back-office functions: ERP, student nutrition (via Meals Plus and Meal Counter), school finance (School Finance MI), and website management (eSchoolView). LINQ also offers connectivity tools for families (LINQ Connect) and student information systems (Specialized Data Systems). The geographic focus is the United States, with offices in San Francisco and Dubai. LINQ employs over 1,000 professionals across its integrated platform. The company has not disclosed total deployment or affiliated vehicles such as philanthropic arms. No recent operational events from the last 24 months are publicly available. A key structural differentiator is LINQ's accumulation of legacy education technology brands into a unified platform. By consolidating products that many districts already use — like Meals Plus and TITAN — LINQ lowers switching costs and builds sticky relationships within the K-12 ecosystem.
