Myles Thies

Myles Thies is CEO of 186 Digital and Co-Founder of alulu, an AI-powered platform transforming how learner engagement is understood and rewarded. alulu’s intelligence layer turns LMS and LXP data into actionable engagement signals, connecting measurable learner behaviour to real-world rewards — grounded in evidence-based behavioural science, including Self-Determination Theory and the Octalysis engagement framework.

Myles leads a multidisciplinary team at alulu, translating strategic vision into production-grade products that solve genuine educational challenges rather than adding technology for its own sake. With deep experience across the higher education and corporate learning sectors, he has driven digital education innovation across the UK, EU, US, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

With a Masters in Digital education from the University of Edinburgh and based in Cork Myles brings together strategic leadership and experience, technical depth, and a genuine commitment to learning that drives real, sustainable behaviour change.
