Hadi Partovi.

Hadi Partovi is the Founder of Code.org, the nonprofit that has brought computer science education to every school and student worldwide.

Code.org's Hour of Code campaign has reached hundreds of millions of students across 180+ countries, making it one of the most successful education campaigns in history. More than half of U.S. states have adopted computer science education policies thanks to Code.org's advocacy. Before founding Code.org, Partovi was an early-stage angel investor in Facebook, Dropbox, Airbnb, and Uber. He serves on the boards of Axon and MNTN. Born in Iran, Partovi escaped revolution and war before building a transformative career in American technology. His advocacy for AI education-arguing it makes computer science more essential, not less-positions him at the forefront of the most critical educational debates in the United States.
