Carlos Munoz is the Chief Operating Officer at Group Colleges Australia (GCA). He has more than 14 years’ experience within the Australia education industry with a focus on international marketing, student recruitment, admissions, team development and general marketing and management.

In 2009 Carlos started his career in education at MyQual International, an education agency in the Sydney CBD and helped achieve several accolades from Australian universities for excellent performance and student recruitment practices. Rising within the company, Carlos eventually started leading the team as manager and the agency became the biggest source of enrolments for Group Colleges Australia.

He has had several promotions within the organisation and in 2014 he became the Business Development & Admissions Director of GCA, formed the GCA Admissions Centre and became part of the GCA Management Team. The GCA Admissions Centre manages and coordinates all the business development, agent management, marketing and admissions operations of the organisation.

As Marketing & Admissions Director, Carlos and his team were responsible for developing and executing marketing strategies, managing admissions processes, and communicating the benefits and unique qualities of UBSS to potential students, their families, education agents and other stakeholders. This role required a strong understanding of both marketing and admissions practices, as well as the ability to lead and motivate a team towards common goals.

In 2024, Carlos takes on a new challenge as GCA's Chief Operating Officer.
