Auris Tech appoints board chair

London-based education technology company Auris Tech has appointed GoHenry founder Louise Hill as chair of the board as it enters a new phase of growth.

Louise is a leading advocate for financial education and has campaigned for financial literacy to be embedded in the national curriculum. 

She will take on the role alongside her existing position at GoHenry.

Auris Tech develops literacy-focused technology including Fonetti, a read-aloud platform powered by automatic speech recognition, and the National Read-Aloud Challenge. 

The initiative has supported more than 25,000 children and delivered more than three million reading minutes across the UK.

As chair, Louise will support the company’s strategic growth and governance as it expands its education technology offering nationwide.

She said: “Reading literacy and financial literacy are both foundational life skills. Without them, children are locked out of opportunity.

“Auris Tech is tackling one of the most important challenges in education with clarity, evidence and heart, and I’m thrilled to support Kim and the team at such a pivotal stage of their growth.”

Kim Antoniou, founder of Auris Tech, added: “Louise’s passion for financial literacy and our passion for reading literacy make this a natural partnership. 

“You have two driven, relentless women on a mission to give every child the skills they need for life and that is a very exciting place to be.

This appointment feels like a real ‘grown-up’ moment for Auris Tech. 

“We are firmly in our growth stage, with so much planned for 2026, and we could not be more delighted to have Louise leading our board as we take the next big steps in our journey.”
