Lisa Crausby OBE
Group Chief Education Officer
Lisa Crausby joined GEMS Education in 2024 from Star Academies, one of the United Kingdom’s leading multi-academy trusts, where she served as Executive Director of Education. Her work at Star Academies earned her one of the country’s most important civil honours, Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for Services to Education, in 2023.
Before her tenure at Star Academies, Crausby served as Chief Education Officer at the Academy Transformation Trust, where she led the strategic and operational direction of academy improvement across multiple regions.
Crausby also brings valuable experience from her time as a Lead Inspector with Ofsted in the UK. Her work was critical in driving school improvements and ensuring that educational standards were met and exceeded.
Crausby’s addition to the GEMS leadership team follows the recent high-profile appointment of former Ofsted Chief Inspector Amanda Spielman as Chair of the GEMS group’s newly formed Academic Council.
