Ilisha Masaun
Ilisha Masaun is a multi-award-winning EdTech founder and international speaker dedicated to modernising educational frameworks. Navigating the system with undiagnosed dyslexia until 21 and excluded from school six times, she unlocked her academic potential by building a personalised methodology, rising from the bottom of her cohort to top grades.
Driven by this experience, Ilisha developed the pedagogical ACES Method and an award-winning Inclusivity Framework tailored for neurodiverse learners (dyslexia, ADHD, and autism). Applied via her adaptive AI platform, which supports over 30,000 students across seven countries, this framework cuts study time by 50% and boosts outcomes by 20% while training cognitive habits that outlast exams.
Ilisha’s systemic approach won the prestigious Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award, making her the only EdTech founder selected and placing her on the UK’s Top 50 Most Innovative Women list. Named Young Tech Person of the Year at Birmingham Tech Week, she has addressed over 500,000 delegates globally across the US, Asia, and Europe. For policymakers and school leaders, Ilisha offers a proven blueprint to relieve teacher burden, foster active thinking, and systematically dismantle the UK's NEET crisis.
