I am a senior executive in global higher education and education technology, with more than 20 years of leadership experience spanning academic strategy, digital transformation, and business growth. Throughout my career — working both inside universities and in the corporate world within the higher education industry — I have been driven by a commitment to align innovation with mission, empowering institutions, platforms, and learners to achieve sustainable success in an evolving world.

I first came to the U.S. as a first-generation graduate student. After completing my doctoral studies and earning tenure as a professor, I transitioned into university leadership roles and then into the corporate world. There, I have held executive positions in global education companies and served on advisory boards — managing portfolios of over $200 million and leading initiatives across North America, Latin America, Europe, India, and beyond. My work has consistently focused on building institutional partnerships, scaling enterprise platforms, advancing AI-powered learning and credentialing systems, and aligning education with workforce success.

Trusted by presidents, provosts, chancellors, and policy leaders, I build bridges across businesses, institutions, and organizations — always keeping the learner and student at the center of every strategy. I have collaborated with a broad spectrum of stakeholders, from Research 1 institutions, policy centers, and higher education associations to edtech innovators and investors, always seeking to deliver meaningful, measurable results.

In addition to my executive roles, I have also provided strategic advisory and consulting support to leading educational firms and organizations — including PwC, GLG, and Third Bridge Group, among others — with a focus on innovation, growth, and institutional alignment.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I am passionate about the transformative power of education. I believe in fostering environments where learning, technology, and human potential converge — preparing learners, institutions, and societies for a future that is global, digital, multilingual, inclusive, and resilient. As a proud father of two boys preparing to enter college in the next few years, I believe it is essential for our society to nurture and empower the next generation through education.

As I continue this purposeful journey, I remain committed to leading, advising, and collaborating with organizations that seek to make a lasting difference in the world of education. I also remain profoundly connected to the spiritual meaning that gives purpose to each of our lives. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and family, following soccer and sports, and reading a good book.
