Shadee Barkan

Chief Partnership Officer, Honor Education, Et All

I am a first-generation Iranian-American raised in a household where education was ingrained in our family's DNA as the pathway to unlocking opportunity. I firmly believe that learning coupled with compassion breeds success ... and that success is ultimately defined by positively impacting others.

My background is in ed tech startups and workforce development, where I have been fortunate enough to work with people more talented than me, resulting in multiple successful exits for our employees.

My happy place is helping lifelong learners improve their lives for the better … and leveraging tech to solve big scary problems.

I’m based in northern NJ where I often spend my free time strategically grocery shopping for our constantly ravenous teenage boys. Should you ever be in the area, please feel free to reach out!
