Dr Ioannou ranked third most influential 'Edruptor'

Dr Ioannis Ioannou has been ranked third most influential international education influencer of 2021 in the white paper, ‘Edruptors 2021: the top international education influencers of the past year from ISC Research’.

London Business School’s Associate Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship and Visiting Associate Professor of Management with the University of Miami Herbert Business School, is recognised by several rankings as one of the top social media influencers on issues of corporate sustainability. “In my social media, I am just being me, in the same way that I would comment in real life if you stopped me down the street. I like to share my own research work and views about sustainability leadership and corporate responsibility, and to also learn from others and hear their views. My willingness to engage authentically seems to have resonated with a lot of people over the years.”

The ranking comes from research undertaken by ISC Research, a trusted source of information on the international schools market.

Who are the opinion shapers within international education today? ISC Research has explored the question for this first white paper, Edruptors 2021: the top international education influencers of the past year (2022). ISC Research identified key education influencers who are followed on social media platforms.

ISC Research says: “We have named these influencers, Edruptors, because of the impact they can have to affect change for educators. Our research of social media’s international education influencers included analysis of key social media channels and followers, their breadth of followers around the world, and their content focus. A weighting scale was applied based on their country of location.”
