About

Ajay-Kapur.jfif

Beginnings

I kick-started my career in marketing, sales, and management. Over 10 years, I worked with high-profile companies like Shell, Albert Heijn, ABN AMRO, and lived in London, Mumbai, and Amsterdam. I quickly settled into management roles but realised I wanted to contribute to a public cause: education.

My Lecturing Days

I’m from a hospitality family, and it was great getting back to my roots when I landed a lecturer role at Hotelschool The Hague. I spent 12 invaluable years teaching courses on marketing innovation and leadership. I loved introducing the concept of mindfulness learned during my time in India to my students.

I soon became responsible for curriculum innovations and change programs which put the student experience at the heart of all decisions. Students’ needs are ever-changing, and the pressures felt by staff grow in parallel. The more time I spent with people in education, the more the fire in my belly grew, and I became clear on the difference I could make.

Launching Kapur Consulting

My desire to contribute to improving education has led to the launch of my higher education consulting business. I choose work that allows me to use my unique blend of skills to partner with you and improve the human experience in higher education. While gaining and sharing new perspectives, I do what I love and believe in, and get energy by growing with those around me.

What would I bring to your institution? Higher education leadership expertise. Collaboration and compassion. Innovation. International perspective. Calmness. Fresh energy. A laser focus to unblock issues and unlock opportunities.
