Stephen is the Global Head of AI and Educational Technology at Teach for All. Following an early career teaching in remote communities of Canada's far north, Stephen earned his PhD at the University of Cambridge as a Commonwealth Trust Scholar and has spent 15+ years building teams and strategic partnerships to deliver educational technology innovations at scale. He believes that impactful Edtech requires deep understanding of human development and learning, informed by real data from teachers', students', and parents' experiences. Following the successful exit of GeoGebra in 2021, Stephen joined Emerge Capital as a Venture Partner in addition to roles as Visiting Fellow at The Cambridge Judge Business School and Entrepreneur in Residence with Founders at Cambridge Enterprise, supporting a number of high-impact high-growth startups/scaleups during what is the most significant period in the history of education and the future of learning and work. At this pivotal moment as AI reshapes education, Stephen and the team at Teach for All are working alongside its global Network Partners to harness the collective wisdom of teachers and students worldwide to shape the next generation of educational technology and the responsible development of AI in education. The question isn't if AI will transform how we learn, live and work, but how well we can develop collective leadership to meet students' rapidly evolving needs and expectations. Stephen lives in Cambridge UK with his wife Hannah and children - always learning.
