The People Behind the Oxfordian Experience

An experienced educational leader and strategist originally from Dunedin, New Zealand. He holds a degree in Political Studies from the University of Otago and serves as General Director of The Oxfordian School. With more than two decades of experience in leadership, human development and institutional strategy, he is recognised for building people-centred systems that drive sustainable educational growth.

A specialist in organisational change, he holds a certificate in School Change Management from Harvard Business School Online and a TESOL certification, combining academic leadership with international language education expertise. He has also completed professional formation in counselling, strengthening his work in supporting the social and emotional development of students, educators and school communities, and holds certifications in Montessori education and Positive Discipline, approaches that emphasise respect, autonomy and whole-child development.

Throughout his leadership at The Oxfordian School he has helped guide the institution’s growth from a single campus to five, serving thousands of students, supporting the creation of community libraries on each campus and championing a scholarship programme that now provides more than 37 million pesos in financial support each year — a reflection of his belief that talent and potential should never be limited by circumstance.
