Background

About Jo Byng

I’m a strategic and people focused leader with extensive experience across complex organisations, particularly in education, global engagement, and service delivery. Over my career, I’ve led multi-functional teams through major reforms, developed data informed strategies, and built partnerships that deliver real impact for students, staff, and stakeholders. Much of my work has been grounded in international education, leading and championing student mobility, international marketing, and compliance, while driving initiatives across diverse cultures, countries, and regulatory environments. I’ve worked extensively with government and regulatory bodies, led cross organisational change initiatives, and represented the sector in national forums and working groups. I have a track record of turning strategic goals into operational reality, whether through driving sustainable growth, strengthening governance and compliance, or designing programs that meet the needs of diverse communities. I’m known for bringing clarity, warmth and curiosity to complex challenges and for getting things done.
