Romy Short

I’m a commercially minded Managing Director and former Board executive with deep expertise in education, assessment, skills, learning technology and regulated markets. I help organisations grow, scale operations, win major contracts, navigate complexity and turn expertise into commercially successful products and services. I bring a rare combination of board-level leadership, public sector credibility, private sector growth experience and hands-on delivery of multi-million-pound programmes in the UK and internationally.
The types of companies that would most benefit from my expertise are those with strong growth potential that need experienced leadership to scale commercially, improve operational performance, navigate complex or regulated markets, and turn strategy into practical results. This includes education, skills, assessment, technology-enabled services, public sector suppliers, and investor-backed businesses seeking sustainable growth and transformation.
