Meo Kositpaiboon embodies the spirit of openness and inclusion through her multifaceted background. With three nationalities – Canadian, Thai, and Portuguese – she draws on a unique cultural richness to navigate seamlessly in a globalized world. A polyglot, she speaks four languages: English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, mastered during her experiences living in five countries: Canada, France, Spain, Chile, and Australia.
Holding a Master’s degree with dual specializations in International Business and Marketing Management, Meo has spent over 10 years contributing to the development of educational excellence. During this time, she has had the privilege of working for both French and American institutions, including Parsons The New School and Cornell University in association with Paris La Sorbonne. Her experience spans diverse domains such as communication and promotion, admissions, academic advising, student life, and international relations.
For the past two years, she has brought her expertise to Groupe IGENSIA Education, where she strengthens and develops partnerships with international universities as part of the MONA project, an initiative led by EAM (EuroAppMobility).
Meo has facilitated international mobility experiences for more than 700 work-study learners, ranging from short-term to long-term opportunities. These vocational learners explored a variety of countries, including Spain, Portugal, Estonia and Canada, the western Balkans as per the EU commission priorities.
As a certified coordinator for MONA, she sought to contribute further to the community by joining the team of examiners for the MOBLT program, another initiative led by EAM.
This program is specifically designed to support professionals working in or aspiring to work in the field of international relations within education. Her involvement underscores her commitment to fostering long-term mobility opportunities for work-study learners and enhancing access to enriching learning experiences.
Groupe IGENSIA Education is VET consortium accredited and has the pleasure of accompanying over 3000 VET learners every year.
Her election as National Representative for France with EfVET (European Forum of Vocational Education and Training) is a natural continuation of her remarkable journey. Her inclusive vision, international experience, and commitment to education and diversity make her a valuable advocate for advancing vocational and technical education across Europe.
