Owen White

I am Director of Digital Strategy & Innovation in the Learning Technology Group of Pearson UK. This means I'm charged, amongst other things, with challenging my publishing colleagues to think beyond the "print-first" paradigm that has made Pearson so successful in the past, and threatens to precipitate our decline if we fail to pursue new paradigms in our age of rapid digital disruption. I have held a variety of roles in Pearson over the last 8 years, some commercial, some technology-based.

Prior to joining Pearson I founded (and successfully sold) an educational media company that focused on developing and licensing portable (aka multi-device) learning content for global education markets. Prior to this I was an academic with a focus on pedagogy and the Philosophy of Education.

Apart from my daily focus on digital media, my current interests lie in practical philosophy, visual communication and cinema. I live in London with my wife and two teenage children
