Top SchoolRush Cosgrove is an educational strategist and founder with over 15 years of experience designing data-driven learning programs, scaling immersive tech education, and leading distributed teams across for-profit and nonprofit sectors.

A consensus-builder by trade, he has convened teams of subject-matter experts and data scientists to agree on shared curricula and assessment strategies. He also brings a creative edge—making games in GML and founding a theater company that won grants and press—illustrating his ability to blend pedagogy, storytelling, and technical craft. Based in Durango, Colorado, he now consults through HipGnosis LLC, helping organizations iterate quickly on learning products and metrics.
