AI and EdTech: MPs launch new inquiry examining technology’s role in education - UK Parliament

Nord Anglia Education has appointed former Ticketmaster technology chief Carlos Alvarez as Chief Technology Officer, putting him in charge of technology strategy across the international schools group. Alvarez joined Nord Anglia in October 2026 after more than 11 years at Ticketmaster, where he held several senior technology roles and served as Chief Technology Officer from 2020 until February this year. His new role brings him into a school network spanning 89 schools in 37 countries and more than 100,000 students. Nord Anglia says its education strategy uses research, data and technology alongside professional development to support teaching and learning across the group. Writing on LinkedIn after starting the role, Alvarez positioned education as a new direction after a career spanning more than two decades in technology. “After many years in technology, the chance to put that experience to work in education is something I’m genuinely excited about,” he wrote.
