What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and impactful educational initiatives.

I am a mission-driven leader with a proven track record of launching and scaling educational programmes from inception, particularly within NGOs and social impact organizations. My experience spans over several years, where I have excelled in leveraging data-driven strategies to enhance operational efficiency and foster cross-functional collaboration. I am passionate about empowering underserved communities and driving sustainable, transformative change through education.

In my recent role as Head of Online Programmes & Product at Re:Coded, I successfully strategized and managed the product roadmap, leading to the launch of a 20+ course portfolio and the delivery of 22+ hybrid programmes across 6 countries. My efforts resulted in enrolling over 12,000 students in just 2.5 years, while boosting completion rates by 28% through innovative course delivery systems and community engagement strategies. I pride myself on my ability to lead diverse teams and collaborate effectively with external partners to achieve impactful results.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on data-driven insights to inform strategic pivots, which has led to increased funding and enhanced programme delivery. I am eager to bring my expertise in programme management, relationship building, and operational optimization to new challenges, contributing to meaningful educational initiatives that make a difference.
