He’s held senior roles in top universities, focusing on marketing and admissions, business development, and international student recruitment and diversity strategy. He’s also led departments within educational institutions, with great results –and he’s experienced the flipside: consulting to major institutions and government agencies, who continue to seek his guidance whenever a new challenge arises.
He was founding Director of Marketing and Admissions at Curtin University’s Singapore campus. He also ran his own consultancy – Hedu – which focused on helping universities and international schools build strong partnerships in the UK and Ireland, and improve business processes and the student experience.
Jeremy is a master at interrogating data to inform strategy development. He has an advanced understanding of the evolving trends impacting institutions and their students. But above all, he is a thoughtful, empathetic and collaborative partner who’s highly attuned to the needs of clients, responding with smarts and nuance.

Before Edified
Jeremy managed his own consultancy, working with colleges and international schools on partner and program development as well as process improvement and systems implementation. Jeremy has also worked in the international education sector for a number of companies and institutions, including INTO University Partnerships, Study Group, James Cook University Singapore, Curtin Singapore and University of West London.
After hours
Not content with just being on the same wavelength as students, Jeremy also has no problem keeping up with them. He runs, he rides, he plays and he cooks! He’s often found laying down a lazy 10 k’s or half-marathon, and he’s been known to guide his trusty (two-wheeled) steed for hundreds of kilometres in the footsteps of ancient kings – or sometimes just down to the shops. As a trained chef, Jeremy’s adept at banging the pans on the stovetop, and as an ‘almost was’ rock-legend drummer, he still bashes the kit in a local studio.
