JON HAGMAIER | President, Education Consulting
Jonathan Hagmaier is a nationally recognized education and edtech leader whose journey from classroom teacher to principal to successful entrepreneur sets him apart in the industry. With over 16 years in public education, Jonathan has firsthand experience with the challenges educators face and the solutions they need. In 2006, he co-founded Interactive Achievement (IA), where he led the development of the award-winning onTRAC® platform—a transformative tool for K-12 assessment and data analytics that reshaped how educators use data to drive student achievement.
Under Jonathan’s visionary leadership, IA grew from a small startup into a multimillion-dollar enterprise, serving school systems across 13 U.S. states and the United Kingdom. In 2016, IA was acquired by PowerSchool in one of the largest edtech acquisitions of its kind at the time.
Building on that success, Jonathan launched Veracity Verification Solutions in 2022—an innovative edtech management platform that enables school districts to build and manage a centralized knowledge-base of approved technology products, vendor contracts, and procurement activity.
Widely regarded as a thought leader at the intersection of education and technology, Jonathan is one of the rare individuals who has excelled at every level of the education ecosystem—from the classroom to the boardroom—giving him an unmatched perspective on how to drive real, lasting impact in education and business.
