Dr. Hack has made an excellent contribution to the development of learning and
teaching – operationally and strategically – not only at Nazarbayev University, but across Kazakhstan and the region. She has had a highly positive impact on many young academics and administrators who are now actively implementing the knowledge and skills they developed under her leadership. She has supported the building of institutional and national capacity and we greatly appreciate her work.
Dr Duncan Priestly, Executive Director of Strategy and Delivery at Nazarbayev University
I enjoyed working alongside Kay at Advance HE and can recommend her for roles and projects requiring strong project leadership and strategic stakeholder engagement. She consistently demonstrated a high level of competence in managing complex initiatives involving multiple partners and diverse client goals.
What sets Kay apart is her ability to build and sustain buy-in across all levels of an organisation, from operational teams to senior leadership. This isn’t easy to do, but it helps to ensure alignment and shared ownership. Her excellent pedagogical knowledge and deep experience in organisational development enable her to work closely with clients to identify what will truly transform their institutions, rather than simply meeting surface-level needs.
Her international experience, particularly across Asia, the MENA region, and Europe, brings valuable cultural insight and adaptability to her work. This global perspective, professionalism, and commitment make her a real asset to any project or organisation.
