Mackenzie is a serial entrepreneur and technology consultant who has spent the last 2.5 years, since the launch of ChatGPT, helping organisations master AI tools and embed them systematically. Her research in human capital economics – exploring how skills drive both individual and economic growth – revealed a critical challenge: while AI offers unprecedented opportunities for learning and development, most approaches focus on tools rather than people. ZEPHYX was born from the realization that we need to transform how humans interact with AI, making it personal, proactive and truly useful for every student's unique journey.

 

Louise's incredible journey – from helping major organisations embrace new technologies to overcoming cancer – taught her something powerful: everyone deserves the chance to reach their full potential. With three decades of experience making complex technology work for real people, she's dedicated to ensuring AI becomes a force for good in education. Her passion is making sure technology adapts to how students actually learn and think, not the other way around. She believes every student has unique talents waiting to be discovered, and she's committed to using AI to help unlock them.

Together, they're building ZEPHYX to transform how students learn – making AI personal, engaging, and actually useful for every individual journey. They believe the future belongs to students who can combine their unique human capabilities with AI's powerful assistance, and they're here to help make that future a reality.
