Behind the decisions: Meet the team shaping impact across LEGO® Education
At LEGO Education, the products that reach classrooms around the world are shaped by connected decisions, linking strategy, performance, and purpose.
At the centre is a team bringing together finance, strategy, business development, insights, and analytics to turn ambition into action. Often behind the scenes, they help shape how the business moves forward.
“Our role is to help the business drive clarity and direction—through strategy, financial insight, and data.” – Marisa, Senior Director, Finance, Business Development, Insights and Analytics
A team at the heart of how the business works. Led by Marisa, the team works at the intersection of thinking and doing, partnering with leaders to shape long-term direction and day-to-day decisions. Their work spans strategic planning, financial guidance, actionable insight, and cross-team alignment—helping the organisation focus on the right priorities and move forward with confidence.
“When navigating with high ambition in a complex, ever-changing context, there are always trade-offs. What matters most is being able to create clarity and calm so people can make decisions and keep momentum.”** says Marisa.
While the team’s work is often behind the scenes, its impact is tangible: every insight generated, investment prioritised, and decision supported contributes to better learning experiences for students.
Marisa continues; “You see the connection between the decisions made here and how students experience learning through play.”
Different perspectives, shared purpose.
What makes the team distinctive is the breadth of perspectives it brings together: insights and analytics provide evidence, finance brings structure, and strategy and business development translate ambition into direction and execution.
Together, they create a fuller picture so decisions are informed, aligned, and ready to act on.
A culture built on collaboration, not control.
Collaboration is essential. The team operates less as a traditional function and more as a connected network of partners embedded across the business.
They bring different viewpoints together, challenge thinking constructively, and build alignment in a way grounded in trust, openness, and shared accountability.
“There’s a strong sense that we succeed together, you rely on each other’s expertise.” Marisa
That makes the team essential to LEGO Education’s success: translating ambition into direction, connecting insight to action, and enabling decisions that drive impact.
By linking teams, perspectives, and priorities, they help the organisation move forward with confidence, turning ideas into outcomes so more students can experience the power of learning through play.
