Vai works in the tech industry, leading on software implementation programmes and projects for not-for-profits. Vai also works closely with her company’s leadership team to shape project operations, ensuring efficient delivery of projects to clients. She’s a mentor who supports colleagues in their career development goals. She started off her career originally in international education as a teacher and then later moved to management and leadership roles.
Vai has an MBA from the University of Leicester, and thrives in working with leadership teams on forming operational strategies to ensure efficiency and effectiveness without losing focus of the people experience, and hopes her experience lends itself well to the governor role at St. John’s College. Vai has also been a mentor and tutor for the BMEYPP (Black Minority Ethnic Young People’s Project) in Brighton.
