Today I speak with Seema Mishra, Founder & Principal at Education Management Consultants (EdMC). I've met Seema on a number of occasions and I find her to be super articulate, delightfully smart and deeply grounded in what it means to be a good human. Well educated at LSE where she completed her MSc in culture and society, and with a firm grounding from the University of Chicago where she completed her undergrad. work in South Asian studies, Seema set out to address inequality and build a better society even from the tender age of 11 years old. 

Seema has held senior roles at Laureate Education, at Northeastern University and at Entangled Solutions (now Guild Education) before setting off to start her own adventure with EdMC. I'll let our conversation fill in the blanks in my introduction, but I will say that Seema is a big picture thinker, she is extraordinarily thoughtful and reasoned, and she has many commendable characteristics that give her an authoritative voice - one well worth listening to. 

Seema and I speak about: 

Covid related challenges saw us experiencing several audio hiccups, but I didn't feel that it distracts in any meaningful way from the importance of the topics we cover - that said, I apologise for the less than perfect audio quality. With that, I bring you, Seema Mishra.
