Who It’s For

I help school boards and owners turn vision into reality—transforming culture, strengthening strategy, and building schools that succeed where it matters most: in the lives of students and staff.

Transforming Schools

Turning around a school isn’t just about boosting enrollment numbers or balancing the budget—it’s about creating a culture where students, teachers, and families genuinely thrive.

I work directly with boards and school owners to identify the real challenges holding their school back and then build practical, sustainable solutions. My approach blends two worlds that are often kept separate: the academic heart of a school and the business realities of running one in a highly competitive market.
With over two decades of experience leading and advising international schools across Asia, I bring a unique perspective that ensures schools don’t just survive, but stand out. Together, we focus on:
  • Culture – Building a caring, connected school community that retains students and staff.

  • Strategy – Creating clear, actionable plans that align vision, academics, and operations.

  • Sustainability – Strengthening governance and financial health so success lasts for the long term.

Hive Schools International

This work is amplified through Hive Schools International (hiveschools.org), a collaborative network of independent Canadian curriculum schools. Hive provides:
  • Shared management expertise and strategic planning frameworks.

  • A community of practice where leaders and boards learn from one another.

  • Opportunities for student and staff collaboration, enriching the educational experience and strengthening school identity across borders.

When schools partner with me—and with Hive—they gain both immediate solutions and a long-term community of support. The result is not just growth in numbers, but meaningful success: stronger teaching, healthier culture, and graduates prepared to thrive in the world
