Ailsa Lamont - Director and Founder
Ailsa has more than 25 years of experience in economic development, cross-cultural communications, international education and social innovation spanning 60 countries.
In October, 2017 Ailsa trained as a Climate Reality Leader in Pittsburgh, USA. The Climate Reality Project was founded and chaired by Nobel Laureate and former US Vice President Al Gore, and is dedicated to catalyzing a global solution to the climate crisis by making urgent action a necessity across every level of society.
From 2013-2016, she was Pro Vice-Chancellor International and Social Innovation at CQUniversity where she led the university’s international operations, and successfully led the bid to become the first Australian university recognised by Ashoka U as a ‘changemaker campus’, a leader in social innovation education.
Prior to that, she was Executive Director International at RMIT University in Melbourne from 2011-2013, and before that she held a variety of international positions at James Cook University in Queensland, including International Director.
In the decade before joining the international education sector in 2001, Ailsa had a varied career working in economic development, trade promotion, and technology transfer in Eastern and Western Europe and the former USSR, as well as establishing and running Lamont Russian Language Services, an interpreting and translating business.
Ailsa trained as an interpreter and translator in Russian and German and has been an international student in Germany and the USSR. In 2010, Ailsa was the recipient of an Endeavour Executive Award to Papua New Guinea. Her research and professional interests focus on the role of education providers in capacity-building in their communities, broadening access to education, tackling climate change, and study abroad as a catalyst for systems change.

Why a Pomegranate?
The pomegranate represents infinite possibilities - a multitude of seeds, each of which can burst into life if nurtured under the right conditions. The pomegranate also holds a powerful place in many different cultures where it is seen as embodying prosperity, and as a symbol of life and rebirth. |
