Meet our next president and CEO, Katrina Stevens! She will soon join us from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, where she’s the director of learning science. Before that, Stevens helped lead educational technology efforts as a deputy director in the Obama administration’s Department of Education. As the first educator and the first woman to lead The Tech, Stevens is deeply committed to equity. We look forward to her leadership inspiring problem-solvers here and around the worl...d.
