Russell Foster

As Operations Manager at GEMS Metropole, I provide strategic leadership and management in all aspects of school operations to continuously improve the effectiveness and performance of our school. 

My goal is to provide a safe & hygienic environment for students & teachers to support the teaching strategy here at GEMS Metropole where both my son and daughter attend.
Before becoming an Operations Manager, I joined the Royal Artillery, leading camp security and training horses. Having worked in the construction industry in both the UAE and the United Kingdom as a project manager, it has enabled me to expand my knowledge and expertise in the industry. 

In my spare time I enjoy playing golf and I have a passion for motor racing. 
I truly believe that quality learning requires a safe, friendly and stimulating educational environment where children can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.
