My background is originally from Education supplier organisations where I spent time working on a global basis directly with international schools and groups in their use of SAAS products. I have been fortunate to attend several events and conferences as either an exhibitor or delegate, along with visiting schools and providing onsite training and support to teachers and various school staff in key regions across the Middle East, Europe and South-East Asia. My role at ISC now involves me working directly with all education supplier clients, of all industries, helping them with relevant data and intelligence to support their international business growth.
