Georgie Howe

With unique experiences growing up in and advising Australia’s public school educational system, Georgie strongly believes in the power of early academic interventions. Having witnessed the immense opportunity gaps that can result from educational disengagement at an early age, Georgie is passionate about ensuring that lifelong learning remains a preventative tool against societal challenges.

A native of Melbourne, Australia, Georgie is currently a consultant for Ernst & Young, primarily focused on advising public-sector organizations like the Department of Health and Human Services, including Child Protection and Disability Services, in the mitigation of systemic risks to underserved communities. She has also served as Preface's Global Head of Corporate Partnerships since 2020, rallying diverse stakeholders in support of the Preface mission.
