This week Mark jumps into the education industry with GM of Strategy and New Product, Jack Hylands. A passionate teacher, Jack left the consulting industry early on to pursue his passion for education, specifically tailoring University offerings to the modern learner. Mark and Jack speak on the drastic changes that have happened within education over the last few decades, providing world-class student experiences and scaling a team at pace.
“What are the job roles that the industry can’t fill, and how can we work with them to make sure that our students are learning the most up to date, relevant and cutting edge things to take advantage of those opportunities?”
