About Lee Frankel
Lee Frankel is EVP of AI and Machine Learning at Everway, where she leads the company's AI strategy, product innovation, and enterprise-wide AI transformation for 250 million users in education.
A globally recognised AI evangelist and one of the leading voices in applied AI, Lee brings over twenty years of experience from the world's biggest technology companies, including Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Monzo.
