EP. 017 – Edtech Thought Leader Q&A: Rowena Hackwood, CEO at Astrea Academy Trust

Next in our series of edtech thought leader Q&As is this conversation with Rowena Hackwood, Chief Executive Officer at Astrea Academy Trust, a family of 29 schools across South Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire with a proven track record of school improvement.

It was great to be able to get the perspective of a MAT leader as it’s something both edtech and MIS suppliers need to have at the heart of their product strategy. In this interview we talk about:

  • What drives Rowena and her work in education
  • Her approach to taking on a MAT, and what’s involved in the first 6 months as a new MAT CEO
  • The most important factors when looking at edtech solutions across her MAT, and the biggest issues
  • Innovation across the edtech sector as a whole, and what she’d like to see tackled by suppliers

We’ve split the interview into four parts to make it easier to digest. Enjoy!
