Yeah, sport. I’m all over anything that involves a ball really. I managed to get my golf handicap down to its lowest point ever this year, but then I had my first child recently, so that’s probably the end of my golfing ambitions for the foreseeable future. Outside of that, I’ve always loved traveling. I’ve been fortunate enough to see a lot of the world and can manage to track down a decent coffee in most far-flung places.Ìý

Oh, loads, butÌýI’d probably narrow it down to two things: Ìý

1.ÌýIt’s a cliché, but the people I get to work with. We have such incredibly talented and diverse people, and being able to come in and learn from them every day is such a reward. We also know when it’s time to just have a laugh, too, which I’m always on board with. Ìý

2. The impact we have on students. Continually receiving feedback from students – of all ages – that we’ve helped them change their career and fulfill their ambitions is wonderful. I love that our success is aligned to theirs.Ìý

I quite like that it’s hard to predict where online education is going to be in five years. If we could forecast it, it wouldn’t be that challenging then would it?! I’ll predict one thing though: The requirements of the consumer will drive change in this industry faster than anything. The days of average service, an even more average product, and underwhelming student experience are on the way out.Ìý

We change it for the better every day, and we know there's no quick fix to improving the student experience. It should be at the center of everything you do; every question you ask, every course we develop, every interaction we have. We’re incentivized to do it, but we also want to do it. We’ve all been students, and we all wished it were better, now we’ve got the chance to make it so.Ìý

Cliché again, but by some distance my beautiful 5-month-old daughter. She’s mesmerizing, and, thankfully, she has her mother’s looks … and patience!
