Bio
Education has always been my purpose. I've been driven by a simple belief: every learner deserves the opportunity to achieve more than they thought possible, and technology should remove barriers, not create them.That belief has shaped a career spanning executive leadership, commercial growth, AI strategy, edtech, SaaS, go-to-market strategy, digital transformation and public policy across EMEA. I've led commercial teams through second-line leadership, managing sales directors who led their own teams, with deep fluency across the sales and education technology stack to turn strategy into results. I've also helped governments, ministries, universities, non profits and global organisations embrace edtech, adopt AI responsibly and navigate transformational change while staying inclusive.Alongside executive leadership, I'm a regular international keynote speaker, panellist and moderator, with 150+ keynotes delivered across 41 countries at events including the World Education Forum, BETT, GESS Dubai and AI in Education conferences.Today I work with organisations that want to grow their foothold in the edtech space, across education sectors, through commercial strategy, AI adoption and go-to-market growth, while keeping people at the centre of every decision. That's the work I now do through enablemore.ai, helping organisations and individuals turn ambitious ideas into lasting impact.
