In 2014, Nassé left the BBC and was appointed Chief executive of Cambridge Assessment English.[2] On his appointment, Nassé commented: ‘Digital is transforming the way people learn, making it a really exciting time to lead Cambridge English’.[2] In 2018 he was promoted to become Group Chief Executive of Cambridge Assessment.
