Meet Our Founders
Katie Steen
I’m all about the people! I’ve spent much of the last twenty years focusing on education through the lens of a camera – filming educational online training videos to highlight best practise in all sectors of the educational system, within the UK and internationally. Meeting amazing people, promoting their work and helping affect change.
Since 2017 my focus has been within higher education, supporting professional service and academic staff to digitally upskill – most recently with AI.
It was during my last role at the University of Exeter that I met Dave when we co-created and led the institution’s Digital Skills Initiative – providing training and guidance to 7,500 staff.
…and from this work, our company WorkSmart-AI was born!
David Weller
I’ve spent over twenty years exploring how technology can make learning more human. From classrooms to boardrooms, I’ve always been fascinated by how the right tools can unlock confidence, creativity, and capability in people. Along the way I’ve gained a Master’s degree in Education, a postgraduate diploma in teaching.
My work has taken me from teaching and examining to leading large-scale digital upskilling programmes – most recently as Digital Skills Lead at the University of Exeter, where I helped 7,500 staff build their confidence with new technologies, including AI.
I’m passionate about turning innovation into something practical – helping organisations not just adopt technology, but use it to work smarter and create real results. That’s what brought Katie and me together to found WorkSmart AI, to help people thrive in the AI era, one confident learner at a time.
