We’re excited to welcome Tom Burton as BowTie’s Educational Leadership & Culture Advisor.
Tom is one of the most respected voices in K–12 leadership — a former superintendent, award‑winning educator, and nationally recognized speaker on culture, community engagement, empowerment and student‑centered innovation.
With more than 30 years of experience leading districts, building high‑performance teams, and shaping school culture, Tom brings a deep understanding of what schools truly need to thrive. His work has earned national recognition from organizations such as AASA, the National School Boards Association, and numerous state associations for leadership, innovation, and community impact.
At BowTie, Tom will help guide our mission to strengthen schools through meaningful partnerships, modern revenue solutions, and community‑aligned support. His insight ensures that every product, service, and partnership we bring to schools is rooted in what matters most — culture, connection, and student success.
We’re honored to have him on the BowTie team.
