Jack chats with Jonny Wathen, Chief Information Officer at Wellspring Academy Trust. Jonny takes us on his journey from being a keen sportsperson with an interest in technology, a brief stint as quantity surveyor apprentice and work for NHS Direct to his current as CIO at a large academy trust.

Jonny describes how his varied career path – working in further education, providing summer camps and sports coaching for primary age children, being a curriculum leader in a secondary school – have given him different perspectives which aid him in his role today.
