doris, UK. Nik Higgins has started a new role as co-founder & CEO of doris, a marketplace that matches families and international schools. Nik previously took a short career break following the acquisition of The Ambassador Platform, his last company, by IDP Education. Nik said: ‘The international school market is one of the fastest growing areas of the global education market. At last count there was nearly 15,000 international schools around the world. However, despite this rapid growth, the way that prospective families connect with schools hasn’t really evolved since the early 00’s. I started doris to shake this up and positively change the experience for both sides of the market.
