External review of management programmes, departments and business schools, alongside review of course documentation, assessment briefs, examination papers and marking rubrics for academic robustness and audit readiness, including transnational and professionally oriented provision.
Experience chairing academic governance processes and overseeing quality assurance, accreditation and regulatory requirements for a multi-campus business school.
Development of partner-university relationships, regional market expansion and multi-country delivery models, including AIT–UNITAR collaboration.
Faculty leadership and development, student-success and progression planning, faculty expectations, AI-use policy and evidence trails.

Track record
AI and professional education
Roger is building a deeper practice in how AI is changing higher education and professional learning, especially at the interface of industry, business, AI and education. He presents this as a rapidly developing strand of his work rather than an established specialism, and deliberately so.
It rests on three foundations: advising AITSPIN, AIT’s professional postgraduate school for the AI era; work on AI-use policy, assessment design and evidence trails for transnational programmes; and formal study, currently under way through a PG Certificate in the Use of AI in Higher Education.
In practice this shapes programme and assessment design that assumes participants have AI tools available and asks what disciplined use looks like; teaching formats, such as live questioning and defended presentations, that cannot be outsourced to AI; and curriculum renewal for professional programmes in which AI capability is part of the domain.
Current advisory work
AITSPIN is AIT’s professional postgraduate school for the AI era, combining domain expertise, human judgement, ethical responsibility, innovation and AI capability. Roger advises and contributes to programme and course development, international engagement and professional-education activities, including the PIN104 seminar series.
At AIT School of Management, Roger leads programme delivery and academic coordination across cohorts in Vietnam, covering curriculum, faculty, assessment, project supervision and quality assurance, alongside teaching on ESG, ethics, sustainability and scenario planning.
