His responsibilities cover the development of strategic marketing and research services for INTO's global university partner network and the development of new overseas university partnerships worldwide.

He is aware of the issues that arise from repositioning for different markets from his time in China and Thailand, where under different market conditions, he led a team that achieved market leading positions for the UK from uncompetitive positions.

Stephen has experience in working with market research and branding agencies as well as his recent work with activeMINDS Consulting where he has completed a number of University based client funded projects related to TNE in Thailand, Malaysia and China.
