About Dr Vasiliki Kontou

As a Fellow of the Advance Higher Education and an associate member of a number of national associations, I've developed a wealth of expertise in a variety of business and education contexts, with extensive links and networks fostering positive engagements across the sector.

I'm the founder of a national employment business company specialising in educational support services across the spectrum of academia with a global perspective. I'm also an external academic with AIEOU, collaborating with a global pool of expert academics on the spectrum of AI in education at Oxford University. My rich experience in collaborating, consulting, and applying policy to practice across a variety of business settings has fostered my passion in the marketisation of businesses and application of strategy for international and global impact.

My research interests lie in the business structure of educational settings, privatised education, and the marketisation of private tuition.

I've been invited as a keynote speaker at leading educational institution conferences and festivals and have presented my doctoral research in national stakeholder forums.

My passion for teaching and developing an impactful student learning experience is key in my role as a lecturer.
