More recently, Murphy helped build Thomson Reuters' Special Services into a fast growing company using data science and technology, where he now Chairs the Board of Directors. In 2019, he joined Consortium Networks as President and CEO to deliver security and risk solutions to CISOs, underpinned by data science.

By procuring these companies, Genius Group is continuing its strategy to disrupt the education sector and build a new curriculum centered around entrepreneurship and lifelong learning.

“I have always had a keen interest in both education and technology, so I look forward to working closely with the Genius Group senior team,” said Tim Murphy. “I am a firm supporter of the company’s goal to provide lifelong learners with financial literacy and the other tools they need to generate their own careers and succeed in their chosen field.”
