Background

About John Baskerville

I've grown up surrounded by technology, remain constantly excited by how it has evolved throughout my life and passionate about its potential to help people. For the last seven years I've been able to bring that passion into the education landscape. With everything going on in the world right now, we cannot underestimate how vital education around the world is to our future. It is my belief that technology has a huge role to play in supporting and enabling our global education systems, and that as an industry we also have a role to play in passing that passion for the development and application of technology on to the next generation. I've held a number of senior executive and board level roles over the last 22 years, providing leadership within a range of software and solution companies. This executive experience builds on an early career foundation of 10 years in software engineering across a range of sectors in the UK IT industry including Finance, Defence, Government and the Police Service.
