Joseph O'Brian

Joseph O'Brian

Head of Marketing & Communications (UK)

Joe brings a rich international perspective to his work, having spent 15 years in Amsterdam and Spain before recently returning to London, the city where he was born. He is a happily married family man with a spirited nine-year-old son.

His passion for both creative and business challenges is well-supported by his academic background; Joe holds an undergraduate degree in Drama and Film from Brunel University and earned his MBA online from the University of Liverpool as a mature student. This experience has given him a valuable understanding of balancing full-time work with part-time study. Now, as our Head of Marketing UK, Joe is dedicated to attracting a diverse set of qualified and engaged students, ensuring they are guided towards programmes that will significantly accelerate their career advancement.

In his free time, Joe is a self-described technocrat with a particular obsession for AI and developing new strategies and assets. He also loves to stay active by playing padel and swimming, and enjoys exploring a wide variety of different foods.
