I started EduExec because I know how pivotal strong senior support is in education - roles that often operate quietly but are vital to a school’s success. Our mission is simple: to help skilled professionals find roles where their expertise is valued, and where their work truly impacts the school community. We care about more than just a placement; we care about people, careers, and the schools that rely on their leadership. I’m proud to see the relationships we build come full circle, with candidates becoming clients and clients becoming candidates.
