As Seen In
Victoria Hopkin is an intercultural strategist and leadership alchemist, renowned for her ability to transform cutting-edge research on culturally responsive teaching into practical strategies that drive collaboration, innovation, and peak team performance in intercultural contexts.
With a PhD in education and two decades of experience working across three continents, Victoria blends the latest research with real-world leadership challenges to deliver actionable strategies that empower individuals and teams to thrive in diverse environments. Her expertise lies in making cultural diversity an asset rather than a challenge, fine-tuning teams to harness differences and drive meaningful change.
Victoria has worked with thousands of educators and leaders, from local schools to international school groups, including the world’s leading education providers, leveraging cultural intelligence to unlock new pathways for success.
Through her work at The Cambridge Consultancy Group —a leadership hub headquartered in Dubai with operations across the Middle East, Europe and Africa—she consults, trains, and coaches school leaders to navigate the complexities of intercultural collaboration with ease.
Her approach is rooted in the belief that every individual carries a unique blend of cultural experiences—spanning cognitive, generational, linguistic, and socio-economic dimensions—that influence how they engage with others. Victoria’s mission? To teach leaders and educators how to harness this diversity to unlock collaboration, minimize dysfunction, and create sustainable success.
A former international school senior leader in the United Kingdom, Singapore and Shanghai, Victoria combines a rich understanding of performance psychology with her leadership coaching. She’s delivered keynotes at prestigious conferences, facilitated transformative coaching programmes, and authored insightful content on leadership, inclusion, and global best practices.
As a global thought leader and dynamic speaker, Victoria’s talks are known for being highly practical, engaging, and rooted in real-world challenges, offering immediate strategies that leaders can implement to create sustainable cultural harmony. Her sessions blend storytelling, data-driven insights, and humor, ensuring participants walk away with tools to supercharge their teams and transform their schools.
With an ever-growing community of educators and leaders across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, Victoria is a leading voice in culturally responsive teaching and intercultural leadership coaching, driving positive transformation and forging new collaborations. When she’s not empowering leaders, you might find her indulging in her other passion: supporting and nurturing a new wave of teachers in Tanzania, through the nationwide Teaching Institute she started with her husband and her Tanzanian friends.
I help you to confidently lead multicultural teams, overcome barriers to improvement in your school and create a future that your whole community is excited about.
