Ted Dintersmith holds a Ph.D. in Engineering from Stanford and a B.A. with High Honors in Physics and English from William & Mary. His
innovation career includes being ranked the top-performing U.S. venture capitalist for the years 1995–1999. His books (including What School Could Be), films (including Most Likely to Succeed and Multiple Choice), and philanthropic efforts (including the non-profit WhatSchoolCouldBe.org) call for education priorities that help people capitalize on -rather than be victimized by – the tsunami of innovation reshaping society. In 2012, he was appointed by President Obama to represent the U.S. at the United Nations, focusing on youth potential. In 2018, he received the NEA’s prestigious “Friend of Education” Award.
