Nikhilesh Dhure — Head of Growth
I build and scale high-performance growth and enrollment engines for international education businesses across Europe, India, MENA, and LATAM. With 13+ years in Germany, I’ve led marketing, student acquisition, partnerships, and digital transformation for universities and fast-scaling education platforms. My core strength is turning complex admission ecosystems into predictable, conversion-driven systems. I’ve built and operated full-funnel growth frameworks covering acquisition, CRM automation, admissions workflows, partner networks, and multi-country recruitment. These systems have supported 22,000+ student enrollments across public and private universities. What I am known for: Owning growth from lead → enrollment → retention Building CRM + automation stacks that sales teams actually use Scaling cross-border recruitment across 4 regions Designing content + funnel hybrids that drive real demand, not vanity metrics Alongside leadership roles, I run one of the largest independent education audiences focused on Germany and Europe, with 500,000+ followers and 2–3 million monthly views. This gives me constant, real-time insight into student psychology, migration intent, and market shifts—an edge most marketing leaders never get. Today, I’m focused on senior leadership roles in growth, marketing, international expansion, and strategic partnerships, where I can own outcomes, not just campaigns. If you’re building a serious international education, fintech, or mobility business and need a leader who understands scale, systems, and student decision behavior, we should talk.
