This week’s #CEESA2025 Speaker Spotlight features the innovative and inspiring Ewan McIntosh, founder of NoTosh and a pioneer of design thinking in education. A passionate educator, strategist, and keynote speaker, Ewan has spent his career helping schools, organizations, and governments turn bold ideas into meaningful action.

Who is Ewan McIntosh?

Ewan’s journey began as a high school teacher of French and German in Scotland, where he quickly saw the potential of technology in the classroom. His students were among the first in Europe to use podcasts and blogs as learning tools, setting the stage for his future work in educational innovation.

His groundbreaking ideas led him to a national role as Scotland’s Advisor on Learning and Technology Futures, where he influenced policy and practice across the country. He then transitioned into the media world as Channel 4’s Digital Commissioner, bringing creative insights from television and media into the education sector.

Recognizing the need for a more hands-on, design-driven approach to educational leadership, he founded NoTosh, a consultancy that has worked with schools, businesses, and governments worldwide. Through NoTosh, Ewan has helped leaders, teachers, and organizations rethink how they communicate, collaborate, and innovate.
