JOSHY JOSE

Driven by a profound commitment to educational equity, innovation, and the empowerment of girl children, I offer over 25 years of leadership in program management and strategic planning. My extensive experience in foundational learning for vulnerable children, coupled with a strong focus on gender equality and data-driven outcomes, aligns perfectly with the mission to advance equitable educational opportunities. I bring a proven track record in managing large-scale programs (including a $10M budget), building impactful partnerships, and fostering innovative educational approaches, and I am eager to leverage this expertise to maximize impact.
