Helping you live and perform well in a world that has already changed.
Welcome.
I’m Janine Mathó.
I am a former Harvard and Pearson executive, an award-winning leader in global learning, and a trusted advisor to leaders navigating complex change. Over more than 25 years, I’ve raised $30M+ for education innovation, shaped global strategy on the future of work and learning, and worked with organizations and senior leaders across the US, UK, and globally.
As a future of learning expert, my work focuses on how individuals and organizations develop the capabilities needed to live, perform, and adapt well in a world that has already changed. Through advisory work and writing, I translate shifts in technology, policy, and work into how skills and capabilities are built in practice.
My work draws on learning science, neuroscience, and lived experience inside complex systems, bringing a clear, practical lens to what it takes to sustain performance, clarity, and sound judgment over time.
This same lens shapes my work in education. As Chief Learning Officer at Dreamtime Learning Asia, I help build learning environments that develop the capabilities people need for life and leadership—beginning early and evolving over time.
I am a first-generation Cuban-American, born and raised in New Jersey. I’ve lived in three countries and led work on four continents. I live in Provence with my two Labradors, and my husband and I split our time between France, London, and Boston, where we raised our three grown children.
My work is grounded in a simple idea:
People should be able to live and perform well in the world we’re actually living in.
That requires a different approach to how we develop people—one that builds the clarity, energy, and capacity to function well over time, not just achieve in the short term.
A little more about me…I’m a fifty-something proud mother of three who has:
Lived and worked in three countries, leading strategy and business on a global scale.
Supported thousands of people—from early career professionals to senior executives—in their growth and development.
Served twice in the nonprofit C-Suite.
Raised more than $30M for learning innovation in the U.S.
Helped shape the future of learning and work at Pearson.
Spoken at leading institutions in the US and the UK.
Founded a global nonprofit advancing women’s careers.
Received a Massachusetts Congressional Award for Service in Education
Still, what matters most to me is the change I see in people when they begin to function differently—they’re steadier, clearer, and much more themselves.
Through all of life’s twists and turns, I’m proud to be standing grounded and steady, and still very much who I’ve always been.
Thank you for being here.
