Our
Team
Anders Lindgren
- Founder & President
Anders serves as the Founder and President of SchoolOps, leading a team that builds high quality, role-appropriate professional learning for school operations teams. In 2015 Anders served as the Founding Director of Operations for a school in Baltimore where he grew the school’s operations from scratch, ultimately serving nearly five hundred students while consistently outperforming peer schools. Because he could not find role-specific professional learning for operations professionals, Anders traveled widely during his Director of Operations tenure to shadow other school operations leaders, meet with mentors, and piece together resources for himself and his operations team. In 2023 Anders founded SchoolOps in order to turn the best practices he’d collected into comprehensive professional learning for school operations professionals. Since then, Anders has assembled a team of operations experts and trained hundreds of operations teams around the country.
Brook Wilkerson
- Director of Operational Supports
Brook Wilkerson, former COO and founding member of Spokane International Academy, played a pivotal role in its establishment and ongoing success. With more than 17 years dedicated to education, Brook has been integral to the institution’s growth. Her background includes over a decade in business administration before transitioning to education. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and resides in Spokane, WA with her husband, daughter, and their dog, Pepsi.
Kat McKim
- Managing Director of Operations Training
Kat McKim is the managing director of operations training at SchoolOps, where she manages professional development and coaching for SchoolOps’ various learning communities across the country. Kat has been working in education since 2009, first as a middle school reading and writing teacher in the Mississippi Delta. Though she is no longer a classroom teacher (she leaves that to her husband, Ben), learning and development has remained a passion for her and a focus of her work.
In 2011, she came to Achievement First, where she discovered the joy of school operations–for somebody who has always loved creating a well-run system, it was love at first sight. She served as a founding director of operations at a middle school, and has since spent the last six years leading operations talent and development practices across Achievement First’s 41 schools.
During this time, she also revamped and oversaw their Director in Residence program (a training program for aspiring directors of operations), training six cohorts of future ops leaders. Kat currently lives in New York City, and in her free time she loves reading, writing, running, and showering her cat with more affection than he probably wants.
