Our people

Sam Fraser

Development Director

I am originally from the United Kingdom where I gained a degree in Social Sciences, as well as financial and accountancy qualifications. My career has included work in the retail industry at head office level, and in the finance sector, as well as education. I was previously based in the Middle East where I worked for a well-known network of international schools.

Since joining ISC Research in 2017, I’ve worked closely with school leaders and developed my extensive knowledge of the international schools market, as well as the needs of the different operators within it. I was first involved as a consultant in the Field Research team, quickly moving on to head up the department. Now as Development Director, I look forward to using this knowledge to meet the needs of stakeholders within the market, working closely with them.

I look forward to leading the delivery of trusted, high-quality data and intelligence products and services to the market going forward.
