About Anna Williams

When the best leaders’ work is done, the people will say ‘We did it ourselves’.A professional educator operator and dynamic educational leader of staffs of over 140, I have been recruited to open and mature international schools from South Korea, Qatar and to Mongolia. As with any complex start-up organization, management, organizational and communication skills are vital to lead and coordinate the diverse disciplines in multinational teams in managing high performing staff. From the strategic formation of new policies and curriculum to the tactical hands-on effort required for event planning and media communications, I have had broad opportunities to achieve recognized success.Particularly proud of the sense of community I have been able to instill within each school, I believe this is reflected in the community’s core values and ultimately the school outcomes.Confident yet creative, of the six schools I’ve opened, I have successfully taken three schools through international accreditation. These achievements have required the leadership, commitment and fortitude to both to demonstrate consistent improvement but to also be dedicated to the vision and values of the organization.Leading initiatives has been exceptionally rewarding to me, from anti-bullying campaigns to recycling operations, I have been actively engaged in new enterprises to support important causes. Having achieved successful outcomes as a leader of organizational start-ups within the educational arena, I am open to transfer my leadership skills to disciplines outside education as well. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS:► Policy creation to support government regulations► Implemented government educational curriculums► Successfully prepared and passed government audits and inspections► Developed mission, vision and values for international schools► Effected a philanthropic program now adopted nationallyIf you would like to discuss my experiences, connect with me on LinkedIn.
