154: Brett Wigdortz OBE - Transforming education: why it's the civil rights issue of our time

Change Makers: Leadership, Good Business, Ideas and Innovation

Brett Wigdortz is the founder and CEO of Tiney, the startup offering what it calls an ‘Amazon-type solution for childcare’, which he founded after seeing how difficult it was to find reliable childminding options as a father of three.
Before turning his attention to early years education, Brett founded and spent 15 years as the CEO of Teach First, a world renowned charity focused on incentivising new graduates to get into teaching, which he led to become the largest recruiter of graduates in the UK.
If there’s a theme here, it’s about backing the next generation, children, citizenship, society and beyond.
