About

I have been fortunate to build an extensive career in international higher education, deeply rooted in academic leadership, student outreach, and institutional strategy. I currently serve as the Dean of Admissions and Outreach at IE University and as a full-time professor of Marketing. In addition to my role at IE University, I am honored to serve on the Board of The Common App (USA), supporting initiatives that promote access, equity, and integrity in the global admissions process. Additionally, I am proud to have previously served as Chair of the Board of Trustees at the Council of International Schools (CIS). Furthermore, I am a member of the Strategic Higher Education Advisory Council (SHEAC) at Cambridge International, the International Baccalaureate (IB) European University Council, and the Harvard Business Review Advisory Council. I also actively engage with key international organizations such as the College Board, the IC3 Movement in India as a member of the Presidential Forum Committee, and the European Universities Consortium (EUC). Through these networks, I contribute to global education forums, fostering innovation and advocating for increased access and opportunities in International Education. Specialties: higher education, international admissions, board advising, recruitment, marketing, digital marketing and social media, management consulting.
