Dr Paresh Kathrani

Dr Paresh Kathrani is Director of Education at the London School of Innovation. He leads the Education Department and chairs the Academic Board, which approves programmes and modules, oversees examination boards and research ethics, and reports on academic quality and standards to the Board of Governors. His remit covers learning, teaching and research, quality assurance and regulatory compliance, including liaison with the Office for Students. Across more than two decades in education, training, and innovation, Paresh has built a reputation for translating complex change into delivery that works at scale. His work has ranged from higher education teaching and research, funded projects, to senior leadership of global professional training, with a consistent thread: widening access, improving quality, and examining how technology reshapes institutions and professional life. As a speaker, writer, and trainer on AI and the future of services, he brings both intellectual range and practical governance instincts to LSI’s mission in a rapidly shifting landscape.
