The Education Innovators Podcast is a weekly conversation between Eric Byron and guests from all aspects of education around the world. We look for innovative ideas and practical examples of things happening in schools and learning environments that are of interest to teachers, corporate trainers, school administrators, EdTech providers, students, parents, and anyone else interested in education.
 
This is part 2 of a 2-part conversation with Serena Sacks-Mandel who is the Global Chief Technology Officer for Education at Microsoft. Prior to joining Microsoft, she was the Chief Information Officer at two unique, technically advanced large public-school districts where she enabled student centric teaching and learning which resulted in significant improvements in student outcomes. 

Prior to pivoting to Education, Serena led technology innovation teams at IBM, Walt Disney World, and Harcourt, Inc and provided management consulting support for many other organizations. Ms. Sacks-Mandel has won numerous state, national, and global awards for her leadership, vision, technical excellence, and her commitment to supporting women in technology.
