We’re absolutely delighted to share that two incredible educators are joining Rethink Maths as we continue shaping what comes next for maths education.
We’re thrilled to welcome Kate Henshall as our Education Director. Kate will lead our education strategy and our work with schools and teachers. She brings a huge amount of experience across maths education and curriculum development, and anyone who has worked with her knows she’s an absolute superstar. Kate will help ensure everything we create genuinely supports teachers and makes a real difference in classrooms.
We’re equally excited to welcome Kat Martin as our Director of Foundations. Kat will lead our core Foundations mission – our commitment to giving every child, wherever they are in the world, the strongest possible start in maths. She brings deep expertise in early maths, school leadership, and system improvement in an international development setting. Kat is another A-player who shares our belief that strong foundations change everything.
These appointments come at the perfect moment for us. We’re busy building, exploring, prototyping, and shaping what Rethink Maths will become. Having Kate and Kat on board, together with the brilliant Mary-Kate, will elevate everything we’re doing to the next level.
As part of this next stage, we’re also confirming our co-founder roles as the company grows.
Caroline Hamilton will step into the role of CEO, shaping our strategic priorities, building trusted partnerships across the education sector, and empowering our team to deliver excellence at scale. Her leadership will help us stay true to our mission while positioning the company for sustainable growth and continued innovation.
Tony Staneff will become Impact and Innovation Director, focusing on research-informed curriculum design, product innovation, and leading the creative development of new ideas and resources.
We’re incredibly excited about what’s ahead, especially as we begin working with like-minded schools and teachers who want to rethink what maths education could look like.
Caroline said:
“We feel really fortunate to have Kate and Kat joining us. They’re maths experts and brilliant teachers at heart. We’re building something special and bringing in leaders who share our values and vision makes all the difference.”
We’ll be sharing more over the coming months as our programmes, partnerships, and wider vision continue to take shape.
