Gareth Long

Strategic Development Advisor Cayman Islands

In his  most recent project in the Cayman Islands, Gareth worked directly to the Minister of Education and Permanent Secretary as Strategic Development Advisor (Education).

He was deeply involved with every aspect of the rapid holistic transformation of the entire education system, and led many effective large scale initiatives, including work on the design of 'cutting edge' new secondary and primary learning environments.

Gareth also strategically planned and implemented the restructuring of a large secondary school into four smaller schools on one campus, a true 'schools within schools' model.

"His work for The Cayman Islands Ministry of Education in the development of the three new high schools has been incredible.  He is a man that resolves issues and removes roadblocks. He is truly a can-do guy.  Without his ability to bring people together, even in the midst of controversy, our projects would have struggled.  His knowledge of educational facilities, curriculum matters and school operations are the best I have ever had the pleasure to be associated with.  On top of all that, he is a man with practical common sense, a keen wit and a great sense of humor.  My highest and deepest recommendation is extended to him.  The firm or organization that is fortunate enough to partner with Gareth has placed a winner on their staff!"

David Smith, CCM REFP.

Previously in the Cayman Islands, Gareth has taught, been a high school Principal and also became Acting Chief Education Officer for a short period of time.
