Michele Simpson-Crew
As the managing partner at Busec Nova, my focus is centred on leading our teams to deliver valuable and enjoyable learning experiences for our students that make a lasting difference to their working lives.
I have been asked if there is something in our industry that I think should be ‘fixed’? There is; I wish that we could all do more to tangibly remove barriers to entry into the people professions, for people who live without privilege. So in my role at Busec Nova, I also focus on the future, looking for new ways to innovate and increase accessibility to the academic excellence that can be achieved through our globally recognised chartered qualifications.
I moved into teaching in 2012 after a career first in media in London, followed by 23 years in talent management and recruitment working with multinational advertising agencies across the EMEA and Asia Pacific markets.
In my spare time I like nothing better than hanging out with my children and friends, walking, talking, cooking, adventuring. In quiet moments it’s poetry, music, gardening and maybe one day, I’ll pick up my paints again. I like being on and in the water and love to run.
I really enjoy the people at Busec Nova – such a fine bunch of quirky, witty, smart, fun people to work with. We seem to attract a similar student community too?! We work hard, but the days are certainly never boring.
