Hi I'm John 👋

For more than a decade in the UK & Australia I created & led award-winning international recruitment teams and helped transform multiple universities' commercial operations.

This included in roles at The Australian National University, The University of Sheffield, and Aston University.

After seeing institutions and agents waste millions of dollars and thousands of hours of effort each year I decided to create a better way to agree commission terms. It's crazy the sector still agrees commission terms like it's 1996 -- this only benefits the biggest & most established agencies, not the tens of thousands of challenger companies. And it hurts universities.

We're seeing that pain today, with universities & agencies globally under significant strain and many thousands of job losses in 2025 alone. It's clear the agent-university recruitment dynamic needs a digital terms agreement solution.

Hi I’m Trent 👋

Over the last 20+ years I’ve worked across financial markets, early childhood education, and digital platform businesses — leading teams, building brands, and launching ventures in both Australia and Southeast Asia.

I’ve co-founded and scaled successful companies in education and tourism, and previously led digital transformation initiatives in banking and finance, where I developed market-based solutions for institutional clients.

I’ve always been passionate about building marketplaces that drive efficiency and unlock value through smart digital solutions. Feezy is exactly that — a platform designed to cut out redundant costs, speed up decision-making, and help both agents and universities grow their bottom lines.
