Hi, I'm Greg.
I came to education the long way around - starting my career in operations and strategy before dedicating the last two decades to professional learning and EdTech.
I hold a PhD in Professional Education from City, University of London. My work focuses on critical thinking, problem-solving, and making digital learning feel human.
