Jamie Martin — CEO
I'm passionate about improving education & employability/ hiring/training by adopting more evidence driven methods. At English Quest, we help Indian schools to give every student the opportunity to learn to speak English, and help Indian young adults improve their English to get jobs. Formerly I founded Injini (www.injini.co.za) - a Y combinator for African education entrepreneurs. Injini has directly supported 57 African Edtech start ups from 12 African countries. Prior to that, I was a Special Adviser to the UK Secretary of State for Education, and worked as a management consultant focused on education in the UK and Middle East offices of BCG and Deloitte. I advised governments and businesses on education across the world.
