Soukeina Mamodhoussen
2026
Chief Education and Learning Officer at Baobabooks

Soukeina Mamodhoussen is a global educator, polyglot, and education
consultant with over 20 years of experience across eight countries.
Born and raised in Paris as a Third Culture Kid, she began her career
in the language classroom, where she discovered firsthand how words
can open doors, bridge cultures, and transform the way children see
the world. Fluent in six languages and conversant in five more,
Soukeina brings a rare combination of linguistic depth and
cross-cultural insight to every conversation about the future of
Learning.
As Chief Education and Learning Officer at Baobabooks, a Swiss EdTech
social impact enterprise, Soukeina leads the development of an AI-supported
platform that empowers children in over 20 countries to write,
illustrate, and publish their own books. More than a creative space,
the platform is also a classroom tool that helps teachers track
progress, differentiate instruction, and build literacy skills,
putting the power of language directly into young hands at a time when
global literacy levels are in crisis. Soukeina is passionate about
harnessing AI not to replace the teacher or the creative process, but
to support students in finding their voice and developing the
confidence to use it.
