Higher-Edge launched in
1997 to facilitate worldwide
student movement.
We developed our team upon four cornerstones:
a passion for giving good advice to young people,
integrity, cross-cultural awareness, and professional competency.
We span an extraordinary variety of languages, backgrounds and ethnicities.
We evince our global spirit through leadership positions in Transparency International and the International Rugby union.
We represent a gamut of academic backgrounds from
international relations to business, from Latin, to computer
science, from translation to communication studies. Many of us
have studied in one or more countries outside our own. We have studied everywhere from Renmin in Beijing to Nottingham in Kuala Lumpur, from Harvard and Johns Hopkins to Griffith in Brisbane.
The Higher-Edge Kaleidoscope relies upon sophisticated observers making sense of the dizzying collision of forces that affect our clients’ interests: that’s Who We Are.
