Vignesh Naidu

Director, Operations at The HEAD Foundation

Speaker

Vignesh is currently part of the senior management team at The HEAD Foundation. Vignesh helms The HEAD Foundation’s education team that works across Southeast Asia to improve education outcomes through; the design and delivery of bespoke capacity building opportunities for educators, the production of a suite of peer-led training workshops and resources for educators, and opportunities for thought leaders to share their insights and perspectives. Vignesh is particularly intrigued by how education systems need to adapt to ensure that future graduates have the skills needed to navigate a rapidly evolving world of work.

Leading a philanthropic organisation’s education endeavours, Vignesh is acutely aware of the challenges faced by policy makers in ensuring that access to quality education is equitable and promote social mobility. Before joining The HEAD Foundation, Vignesh was a researcher at the Lee Kuan Yew of Public Policy where he tried to understand how the application of cognitive psychology and behavioural economics in the design and implementation of policy can aid policy makers in achieving their desired outcomes. Vignesh has a Masters in Public Policy from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, NUS and a Bachelor of Science (Economics) from the Singapore Management University.
