ABOUT MICHAEL LYNAS

I work at the intersection of education, technology, and policy - driving the adoption of innovation that makes the best accessible to all.At Duolingo, I lead our strategic engagement team in the UK and Europe, with a focus on the Duolingo English Test. I support universities and governments as they adopt more secure, accessible, and forward-looking approaches to language assessment. I\'m particularly interested in how AI can improve access, quality, and security in high-stakes testing by reimagining outdated systems.Earlier in my career, I worked at Bain & Company, served in the No.10 Policy Unit, and co-founded the National Citizen Service Trust - helping grow NCS into the UK’s flagship civic service programme, reaching over teenagers.I enjoy working across sectors to create lasting social value through innovation. Let’s connect if you’re working on the future of learning, AI, or mission-driven technology.
