Expert Bio

Hla Hla Win is an educator, social entrepreneur, and Harvard alumna dedicated to transforming education through innovative technology. As the CEO and co-founder of 360ed, a global EdTech social enterprise, she has built a platform that leverages augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to make learning engaging, accessible, and fun for young learners across Myanmar, Southeast Asia, the USA, Rwanda, and beyond. Inspired by her own experiences navigating Myanmar's traditional schooling system and shaped by her mother's creative approach to learning, Hla Hla pursued academic excellence and earned a Master of Public Administration from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. She further honed her vision for exponential impact at Singularity University, where she developed the foundation for 360ed's cutting-edge AR-powered educational tools. When political upheaval struck her home country, Hla Hla demonstrated remarkable resilience, relocating 360ed's headquarters to Boston and scaling its mission globally. Recognized as a Schwab Foundation Social Innovator and Digital Innovation Awardee, she continues to champion equitable access to quality education, leveraging emerging technologies to bridge learning gaps in even the most underserved communities worldwide.
