Philip Bowman

Philip Bowman is the Co-founder and CEO of MARIO Education, which supports schools in more than 30 countries through structured, evidence-based one-to-one conversations between educators and students. Drawing on 18 years as a learning support teacher, he works with schools to strengthen student relationships, understand learners' experiences, and connect insights with practical support. He was named EdTech Digest's School Leader of the Year in 2024. His pedagogical approach to learning conversations, known as the MARIO Approach, has been examined in a six-year retrospective study published by NASEN and co-authored with Dr. Katie Novak. At Safe Campus Bangkok, Philip will co-present with Andrew Cunney of International School Bangkok on how relationships, student check-ins, and coordinated support can contribute to proactive school safety.
