ABOUT ALEX MAKOSZ

The future of learning is being shaped now, by the money being invested and the systems we’re building. Can private capital, teaching, policy, and tech actually work in harmony with what’s best for students and communities? We must work to ensure they do.For over 15 years, I’ve worked where education meets innovation, strategy, and systems change. I’ve led schools, launched programs, and built networks of leaders who share ideas and take action together. As an educator and founder, I’m hands-on in creating learning models that work. Behind the scenes, I advise investors, foundations, and companies, helping them fund and design initiatives that look ahead without losing sight of what matters. Since first stepping into school leadership in 2010 and first applying strategic foresight in 2016, I’ve helped educators and leaders anticipate tech-driven changes, like AI and new learning tools, rather than just reacting to them. My work bridges education and business, ensuring emerging tech, funding, and governance align to support both great teaching and sustainable outcomes, always guided by community needs and long-term thinking. I partner with leaders to: • Drive change through working with stakeholders• Build future strategies while staying true to core values• Practice governance balancing innovation, accountability and well-being• Clarify business strategies for smarter decisions• Grow networks that spark innovation and shared knowledge• Launch learning models that are effective, adaptive, and sustainable I offer: • Consulting and advisory• Keynote & speaking engagements• Design-driven strategic vision• Coaching/mentorshipThe future of education is a team effort, grounded in community, driven by clear thinking, and committed to unlocking human potential.
