Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTim Praill is a value-driven business executive and operator with two decades of cross-sector experience in education, technology and AI, now serving as COO at SwipeJobs and Head of AI. He has scaled high-growth B2B ventures (Faethm’s 80%+ ARR growth and acquisition by Pearson) and led transformation and corporate development for large ASX-listed education groups and PE clients. Tim combines hands-on operational accountability—strategy, OKR execution, capital raising, HR, finance and risk—with investor and non-executive roles across edtech, fintech and marketplaces. An LBS MBA with a science background from Imperial, he blends analytical rigor with commercial judgment and a track record of turning venturing programs into tangible exits. Less obvious: he moves comfortably between bespoke corporate turnarounds and product-led AI initiatives, bridging strategy and execution in global markets from ANZ to the UK and Asia.
