Toby Watson, known to many for his successful career at Goldman Sachs, has for several years been committed to a task that at first glance has little to do with the world of finance: the reform and strategic development of the British school system. As Chairman of the Excalibur Academies Trust, he is responsible for the direction of a growing network of schools with the aim of making education future-proof, inclusive and sustainable. He brings his experience in business and strategy to a field that is becoming increasingly complex. From governance to teacher development, from digital infrastructure to inclusion work, Toby Watson is playing a decisive role in shaping the UK’s educational landscape with a clear focus and an empathetic attitude.
