In recent years, Big Tech has gotten a bad rep. But of course, many tech companies are doing important work making monumental positive changes to society, health, and the environment. To highlight these, we started a new interview series about “Technology Making An Important Positive Social Impact”. We are interviewing leaders of tech companies who are creating or have created a tech product that is helping to make a positive change in people’s lives or the environment. In this particular installment, we are talking to leaders of Education Technology companies, who share how their tech is helping to improve our educational system. As a part of this series, I had the pleasure of interviewing David McCool, CEO and President of Muzzy Lane.David McCool is president and CEO of Muzzy Lane, a global edtech leader in educational simulations, providing content and tools to support the transition to skills-based learning and training. Since founding the company, Dave’s goal has been to build technology that empowers authors to create compelling online experiences and helps students practice skills with guidance and feedback. Dave graduated from MIT with a BSEE and was previously founded and involved in two successful startups. He can be reached at dave@muzzylane.com or LinkedIn.
