BIO

Andy Midgette is a Raleigh, NC native where he still lives with his wife and two daughters.

He has a bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and for the past 10 years has been supporting educators and organizations within the EdTech space.

From his time at DreamBox Learning, Andy saw the importance of evidence-based educational materials and shifted his focus from K12 institutions to EdTech companies in order to support those organizations in understanding and obtaining research. He joins Leanlab Education to continue that mission. In his free time, Andy likes to spend as much time as he can outdoors with his family.

WHY I GRAVITATE TOWARD THIS WORK…

Educators are flooded with products and resources that promise to help them and their students. As a parent, I want to know that the programs my children use have been proven to be effective and I want the same for every student in my community. Our future depends on the success of these students so we owe it to them to provide the best education and materials we can.

My hope is that the companies I partner with are able to learn more about themselves and improve their offerings, which will ultimately benefit the educators and students they serve.

FUN FACT

Outside of work, my personal interests include fishing, woodworking, and photography. I’ve never been great at any of them but enjoy them nonetheless!
