He played an essential role in managing a cohort of Community Coaches that supported the development of innovative ideas from a global community of educators, leaders, families, and students interested in radically reimagining what education could be. He is a thoughtful collaborator, strong communicator and has excellent intuition with the ability to creatively problem solve. He balances attention to detail with flexibility.
