Our team

Alan Finkel is a neuroscientist, engineer and entrepreneur. He was Australia’s chief scientist from 2016 to 2020, during which time he led the National Electricity Market Review, the development of the National Hydrogen Strategy, and the panel that advised the Australian Government on the 2020 Low Emissions Technology Roadmap. Amongst Alan’s other roles within the government, Alan has returned as our Chair.

Byron got a few months into a PhD in Neuroscience at Melbourne University before building Australia’s first electric vehicle charging network with Better Place. Finally understanding what STEM meant in the real world, he co-founded Stile in 2012 and set about working with schools.

After working as a musician, then as a geneticist at the CSIRO in Canberra, Danny studied secondary teaching in Melbourne and saw first-hand the need for better science teaching resources. Danny joined Byron and Alan to found Stile in 2012.

Jayde was traveling in South America when she started to think differently about purpose. She had been working in New York and London for award-winning creative agencies, integrating new digital ventures for a rapidly changing market. In Stile she saw a unique opportunity to unlock the potential of young people with innovative content and technology.

Josh was one of the earliest adopters of Stile in the classroom. Convinced of its potential, he joined the team to help other teachers benefit from Stile the way he and his students had. Today, Josh heads up our AU sales team.

Kat was a science teacher before researching pest management in aquaculture across Norway, Australia, and New Zealand. Striving to cultivate student curiosity, enhance teacher job satisfaction, and bring more science classrooms to life, Kat leads Stile’s US team.

After working as an eLearning developer, predominantly in the health industry, Sarah made the move to a sector she was more passionate about: education.

Following General Management roles in fast growth companies, Simone was drawn to Stile's vision, social purpose and goal to help students globally. With a Masters of Entrepreneurship & Innovation, and a passion for developing future leaders, she now supports Stile's people capability and the company's growth.
