Supriya Mathew

Christian

I am a higher education strategist and administrator with over 17 years of leadership experience across universities, global consulting, and the international education sector. I specialize in building institutional visibility, global partnerships, and high-impact programs that bridge the gap between education and international opportunity. Currently serving as Vice President – International Affairs at Dayanand Sagar University, I lead international strategy, brand building, and global engagement efforts across continents. From securing multimillion-euro Erasmus+ projects to driving 400+ academic-industry partnerships, my focus is on creating scalable, sustainable, and inclusive internationalisation models. My strength lies in combining visionary strategy with strong administration. I’ve built high-performing teams, redesigned institutional marketing into an internal creative agency, and opened up new revenue-generating global pathways for students and researchers alike. Whether I’m leading cross-cultural teams, negotiating with foreign universities and ministries, or shaping global narratives through media and events, I bring clarity, collaboration, and long-term impact to the table. I’m especially passionate about inclusive internationalisation, women in leadership, and strategic education diplomacy.
