I am a senior executive in global higher education and education technology, with more than 25 years of leadership experience spanning academic strategy, digital transformation, and business growth. Across my career — from university leadership to global education companies — I have been driven by a consistent mission: aligning innovation with institutional purpose to empower learners and organizations in a rapidly changing world.

Originally arriving in the United States as a first-generation international graduate student, I earned tenure as a professor before transitioning into executive leadership. Since then, I have led large-scale initiatives and managed portfolios exceeding $200 million across North America, Latin America, Europe, India, and other global markets. My work has focused on building institutional partnerships, scaling enterprise platforms, advancing AI-enabled learning and credentialing systems, and strengthening the connection between education and workforce success.

Trusted by presidents, provosts, chancellors, and policy leaders, I build bridges between institutions, corporations, technology platforms, and policy organizations — always keeping the learner at the center of every strategy. I have collaborated with Research 1 universities, higher education associations, policy think tanks, and EdTech innovators to deliver impact at scale.

Alongside executive leadership roles, I continue to provide strategic advisory support to education and innovation networks, including PwC, GLG, and Third Bridge, with a focus on growth strategy, digital transformation, and institutional alignment.

Beyond my professional work, I am deeply committed to the transformative power of education. I believe in fostering environments where learning, technology, and human potential converge — preparing learners and institutions for a future that is global, digital, inclusive, multilingual, and resilient. As a proud father of two boys preparing to enter college, I see firsthand the importance of meaningful, values-driven education.

I remain committed to leading, advising, and collaborating with mission-driven organizations seeking to make a lasting difference in education. I am grounded by a deep spiritual purpose that guides both my professional and personal journey. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, my sons, and my family, following soccer, and reading a good book.
