Team
The people behind the engine.
We're a small, senior team of higher-education marketing operators — people who've run marketing and owned the enrollment number inside real institutions.
01Leadership
Who you'll work with
Rustam Irani
Founder & CEO
Rustam has 15+ years in higher-education marketing, leading teams and budgets for regional, national, and global institutions.

He founded RGI to bring that operator's playbook to colleges, universities, and trade schools.
