For Julian, international education has always been about more than where someone chooses to study. It’s about people making a big decision about their future, often from the other side of the world.
He brings 23 years of international recruitment experience to academyEX, having worked across universities, polytechnics and private education. Now, as our International Liaison Lead, Julian spends his time connecting with students and education agents around the world and sharing what academyEX, and New Zealand, have to offer.
He’s also keeping a close eye on AI and the way it’s reshaping education. Julian believes the bigger shift won’t simply be how students find information, but how we learn and what becomes important to learn.
Ask him about his secret superpower and he’ll tell you it’s reading people and situations quickly, then spotting the connection or opportunity others might have missed. After more than two decades working with people across countries and cultures, that feels pretty fitting.
