Jo is Newcastle University’s Director of ASEAN Strategic Development & Engagement and has over seventeen years experience working for the University across all three Faculties, within central services, both international campuses and the London campus. The breadth and depth of these roles has given her an extraordinary insight into the multifaceted and multidisciplinary nature of the University, and provides a great platform for her current post, which is designed to grow and support the connectivity between the Newcastle University UK campus and the two University campuses in Singapore and Malaysia, and to develop and nurture education, research and societal engagement relationships between Newcastle University and organisations across Southeast Asia.
