Rahim Hirji Email & Phone Number

With over 25 years of experience in the internet, media, and education sectors - with 15 years in edtech alone, I am passionate about leveraging technology to create innovative and impactful learning solutions for students and educators worldwide. As Executive Vice President at Avallain, an innovative leading provider of digital education platforms and tools, I oversee the strategic long term growth of the company.Prior to joining Avallain, I set up the international team of edtech scale-up Quizlet in London as we looked to establish further growth outside of the US. My entrepreneurial bias led me to cofound EtonX, a blended learning platform teaching soft skills. This launched in China and later pivoted to a bespoke service for schools globally. I also served as CEO of Maths Doctor, one of the first online tuition businesses for K12 students in the UK. In addition, I have extensive experience in leading digital initiatives and founding and scaling early stage digital propositions. Outside of education and education technology (edtech / edutech), I curate Box of Amazing, a free weekly newsletter with 15K subscribers and covers the latest trends and innovations in emerging technology.
