Thrilled to be welcoming Karl Edwards from next month as the new Managing Director of ImpactEd Evaluation. I am hugely excited for the strategic perspective, research experience and deep sector understanding he will be bringing to the role.
@KarlEdwards1 , most recently Director of Strategy and Impact at @TeachFirst , will be joining ImpactEd Group from mid-March to become the new Managing Director of ImpactEd Evaluation.
After a period of handover, Karl will take over the reins from @od_carter , the Co-Founder of ImpactEd Evaluation, who is leaving his full-time role with the organisation at the end of this academic year, after eight years. Alongside other projects, Owen will continue to lead an international stream of work for ImpactEd Group in Australia.
"I'm thrilled to be taking on the Managing Director role at ImpactEd Evaluation, an organisation I have admired for a long time as it has built excellent foundations with a brilliant team. Our education sector faces significant challenges with finite resources and it is critical that we do more of what works, and less of what doesn't. I can't wait to get started and stand alongside our partners, helping them to do exactly that."
