Senior edtech leader, strategist, educator, and creator. Improving the education experience as a connecting point between people and ideas. Gaming and esports in education.

We’ve started interviews and got about 300 applications for the role, but I want to double down on this one. Read this whole post if you’re an education leader in Florida and Georgia metro areas! 🔑 Key Responsibilities: #1: RELATIONSHIPS: Building deeper and wider relationships with school district decision-makers. While CDW traditionally holds relationships with IT Staff, we can also work with CTE directors, federal programs leads, CAOs, the list goes on. #2: TRANSLATOR/STRATEGIST: Represent the voice of the district internally at CDW. You’ve got boots-on-the-ground experience as a school district level leader. This means you can help translate trends in the Southeast back to our internal teams and help us meet their ACTUAL needs, not just blindly throwing darts. #3: THOUGHT LEADER: Create, research, and present on relevant topics both at conferences and one-on-one with district leaders. You’ve got a professional presentation style and delivery that allows you to represent the current programs, challenges, and solutions that exist in education today. #4: FLEXIBILITY: This role travels to represent us through the Southeast (FL, GA, SC, NC, TN), so you’ve got to be located near a major metro in FL or GA and have the ability to travel up to 50%. Anecdotally, I traveled between 30 and 42% when in the role. 📝 Your Experience: #1: TIME: 10 years spent in the education space with roles of increasing responsibility. #2: LEVEL: District decision-making responsibilities. We are advising school districts on their people, processes, technology, and strategic direction. #3: PASSION: Connecting real outcomes (SEL, attendance, school improvement, academics, etc) to programs within the district environment. 🔗The Links: THERE ARE FIVE DIFFERENT LINKS BUT ONLY ONE ROLE- one for each of the cities/areas that represents where we are looking for candidates.

If an opportunity like this came up around the DMV area or the Northeast, I’d be interested.
