Leadership Team

Originally from the UK, Aaron Kane brings over twenty years of experience in education, including sixteen years working internationally across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the United States. Throughout his career, he has worked in a variety of school settings, including British and IB international schools, with leadership experience spanning both primary and secondary education.

Aaron believes that the strongest schools are built on relationships. For him, education is about much more than academic results. It is about ensuring that every child feels known, valued and supported, while being encouraged to challenge themselves, discover their interests and develop the confidence to succeed.

Having worked across different age groups and curriculum pathways, Aaron understands the importance of providing children with a connected educational journey, from their earliest experiences of school through to graduation. He is particularly passionate about ensuring that strong teaching, meaningful opportunities and a genuine sense of belonging go hand in hand.

As a school leader, Aaron places great importance on being visible, approachable and involved in the everyday life of the school. He enjoys spending time in classrooms, talking with students and working alongside teachers and families. His approach is straightforward: listen carefully, communicate openly, build trust and make sure staff have the support they need to do their best work.

As a parent himself, Aaron understands the trust families place in a school and the importance of children feeling happy, safe and confident in their learning environment. He sees leading ISBe as both a privilege and a responsibility, and is committed to building on the school’s strengths while working with the whole community to make it an even better place for children to learn and grow.

With 18 years of professional experience across education, business development, marketing, communications, branding, media, events, and operations, Dr. Thomas V. Aghamkar brings a strategic and multidisciplinary approach to organisational growth and development.

As Business Manager at the International School of Belgium (ISBe), he works closely with the leadership team to support the school’s strategic direction, operational development, community engagement, and continued growth. His role encompasses business development, admissions, marketing and communications, partnerships, stakeholder engagement, and strategic initiatives that contribute to strengthening the school’s position within the international education landscape.

His extensive experience in education includes leadership positions across international schools, higher education, and online learning platforms. Throughout his career, he has led multidisciplinary teams, developed and implemented educational initiatives, established strategic partnerships, strengthened marketing and communications, and driven operational and business improvements. In his previous leadership role with GoEducation, he was responsible for business strategy, finance, operations, marketing, and revenue generation, while supporting education platforms serving thousands of learners.

Dr. Aghamkar believes that a successful international school is built on more than academic excellence. It thrives through a strong and inclusive community, purposeful leadership, effective communication, innovation, and a shared commitment to creating an environment where every student is encouraged to learn, grow, and realise their potential.

At ISBe, he is committed to bringing his experience, strategic perspective, and passion for education to further strengthen the school as a welcoming, innovative, and globally minded learning community. He looks forward to working collaboratively with students, families, staff, and partners to support the school’s continued development and long-term success.
