Education growth & operations leadership

Grow enrollment. Run a school that works.

For 20+ years I've led campuses, admissions teams and commercial teams in education across the U.S., Latin America and Europe. I help investors, boards and leadership teams increase enrollment and build operations that are efficient, accountable and accreditation-ready.

What I deliver

Two things every institution needs to get right

Growth that doesn't last isn't growth. I work on both sides: bringing in the right students, and running an operation strong enough to keep them and pass review.

01

Boost enrollment

More qualified inquiries, faster follow-up, stronger conversion and better retention. I build the admissions process, train the team and set up the weekly numbers that keep it on track.

  • 2× qualified leads, cost per lead cut in half (Miami Ad School)
  • +56%, +71% and +100% student population at three institutions
  • +38% over business development targets across nine offices (British Council)
How I grow enrollment
02

Efficient, compliant operations

Budgets matched to enrollment, clear roles, performance systems people actually use, and accreditation evidence that's ready before the visit.

  • $25M budget, 750+ students, full ACCSC, CIE, FAA and ASE compliance (UTI)
  • ACCSC approval in 2022 and COE re-accreditation in 2024
  • Full P&L ownership at Kaplan and Amerigo; launched a new U.S. campus
