Angela Prentner-Smith

Founder, This is Milk

Angela is a highly skilled, inspiring and innovative digital leader. With an unwavering dedication to customer and human-focused design and change within organisations, she has the leadership ability, strategic thinking and problem-solving skills needed to transform businesses. 

Angela has been working in digital before it was even called digital – embedding human-centred design practices into change and software programme methods, products, and service. She has the rare experience of being involved in digital change and transformation end to end within a business – not just front end.

As well as leading the consultancy side of This is Milk, Angela now shares her experience and expertise with others through Training by This is Milk and is the vision behind the now BIMA award-winning Digital Transformation Programme. From problem to solution in under 6 months, this programme works globally to improve skills in facilitation roles, future-proofing jobs and tackling industry-wide problems with speed & innovation.

Most recently, Angela led This is Milk to success in the CivTech challenge, where their innovative solution to the future of online learning won them a place on the CivTech accelerator. This educational tech product, which uses high levels of personalisation to make learning accessible to all, will go from prototype to live pilot in the next 6 months. She was shortlisted in the Entrepreneur of the Year category at the Glasgow Business Awards in 2021.
