Meet the team

Nine people. Three offices. One counsellor who knows your file.

Students deserve to know who they are working with. Here is everyone at Next Campus — what they do, where they sit and what they are responsible for.

Executive leadership

The founders

Next Campus operates under a collaborative leadership model led by its two Co-Founders and Directors, who are responsible for strategic direction, business growth, governance, partnerships and operational oversight.

Executive Leadership

Ashik Rana

Co-Founder & Director

Sydney, Australia

After completing a Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology, majoring in Software Development, at the University of Tasmania, Ashik built a successful professional career across both Australian Government and private sector organisations — including the NSW Police Force, Hobart City Council, Department of Health Tasmania and Aurora Energy.

With extensive experience in business analysis, project delivery, data analytics, information management and technology consulting, Ashik combines professional expertise with a deep commitment to helping students make informed decisions about their education and future careers.

At Next Campus, Ashik leads strategic planning, operational growth, technology innovation and student success initiatives — ensuring students receive transparent advice, personalised guidance and comprehensive support throughout every stage of their journey.

“Having experienced the international student journey firsthand, I understand how overwhelming and confusing the process can be. Your success is our success, and we are honoured to be part of your journey.”

Executive Leadership

Md Nadim Al Mahmud Zibon

Co-Founder & Director

Sydney, Australia

Nadim arrived in Australia from Bangladesh in 2017 to study at the University of Tasmania, and experienced firsthand how difficult it is to find honest, accurate guidance as an international student.

He now leads corporate leadership and governance at Next Campus, together with business development, marketing strategy, brand development and stakeholder engagement across Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand.

Working closely with the management teams in Australia and Bangladesh, Nadim ensures that every partnership Next Campus enters — and every service it launches — is measured against a single question: does this genuinely make the student better off?

“We built Next Campus around the guidance we wish we had received ourselves. Honest advice first, commissions second — that order never changes.”

Shammit

Jahid

Organisational philosophy

Next Campus has been built on the belief that students deserve genuine guidance, accessible support and trustworthy information throughout their education journey. Our organisational structure is designed to ensure that students receive consistent support both before arriving and after they settle into their new academic and professional lives.

With leadership teams in Australia and operational support across Dhaka and Sylhet, Next Campus combines local accessibility with Australian expertise — ensuring students and families receive personalised assistance at every stage.
