Jeremy has over a decade’s experience at IDP, with his previous roles including Information Services Manager and most recently, Chief Technology Officer.

In his new role, Jeremy will lead the team driving innovation in IDP’s International English Language Testing System (IELTS) business and lead the company’s technology engagement with IELTS partners.

Andrew Barkla, IDP’s Chief Executive Officer, said both Matt and Jeremy will play a critical role in IDP’s ambitious digital transformation strategy, which continues to build momentum.

“We have invested early in digital technology, and our customers, clients and people are already reaping the benefits. Our enhanced digital capabilities now include a student placement platform, virtual counselling, IDP Live and computer-delivered IELTS.
