Ashish Fernando is the Founder and CEO of EDMO, an AI operating system built specifically for higher education admissions and enrollment. After years of sitting across the table from university presidents, CIOs, and enrollment leaders, hearing the same frustrations: slow processes, disconnected systems, and students falling through the cracks, Ashish set out to build the fix. Today, EDMO is trusted by universities across the states, helping institutions automate admissions workflows, reduce manual effort, and deliver a faster, more personalised experience for every student. Ashish is also the host of EduUnlocked, a podcast where he sits down with higher-ed leaders for candid conversations about the future of higher education.
