Updated Sep 12 2026, from my home in Auckland, New Zealand.
Making education the most connected industry
Adam Walmsley and I are continuing to grow EdTech New Zealand and EdTech Jobs NZ while working our business development roles at startups (Spellcaster & Thinkladder for me and LearnCoach for Adam). It’s encouraging to be asked to do things as a team like being the EdTech Ambassadors at the inaugural NZ Tech Expo in Auckland.
At EdTech New Zealand, the number of member organisations has more than doubled in the past two years, so it’s an exciting time at the association.
I’m also enjoying my first experience on a board at the Global EdTech Alliance of Alliances. I tend to be drawn to the challenge of how to add member value at these member associations.
10th colouring book
Just ahead of our wedding in a month’s time, my fiancée Sierra Truong has published her 10th fantasy colouring book for adults, Pretty Little Creepy. I really love her art.
