DUBLIN, IRELAND, July 13, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fiona M. Leigh, the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Unipupil Ltd., has been recognized as a VIP member of Worldwide Who's Who in conjunction with the launch of her new portal-based business.

Established this June, Unipupil Ltd. is a new startup company featuring an online worldwide educational portal which links students to institutions across a large range of disciplines worldwide. On the Unipupil educational portal, students can search for an institution for free, view institution profiles and book and buy classes, educational products and associated merchandise all in one convenient place.

Unipupil currently utilizes an institution partnering programme which is being launched in two phases. Phase one includes product offerings, which allows institutions to sign up for a free personalised profile and listings page. With the opportunity to promote services for free, businesses will gain recognition not only online, but also through mobile phones on IOS and Android apps. Educational institutions will quickly see the potential to increase sales locally, nationally and internationally just by making a profile on Unipupil. Institutions can also add logos and images, class descriptions, social network links, contact and location information to make a truly unique profile. Additionally, a personalised account management area makes it easy to manage and keep profiles and listings up to date.

Already in progress and set to finish launching this month, phase two of Unipupil's plan to connect students to institutions will include the option for institutions to promote both traditional and online classes and list merchandise on the site, complete with choice of online payment gateway. Armed with a vision to revolutionise the education system, Unipupil intends to streamline global access to institutions everywhere, already catering to more than 46,000 institutions across Ireland, the UK, Spain, Italy, Brazil and Argentina. Over the coming months, Unipupil plans to expand into many additional countries, as the number of institutions with profiles on the site is already growing on a daily basis.

Through harnessing the power of digital media, Unipupil offers a user-friendly interface to make the time students and institutions spend on the site both enjoyable and informative. In the search area, students can search by institution type, name, location, area of study or gender. Based on search criteria entered, students are brought to a listings page of all institutions that match those criteria. On the profile page for the institution, the areas of study offered are listed and the institution can be contacted directly through the contact page on the Unipupil portal. Feedback can be submitted, which will then be displayed on the Unipupil portal and will feed into the rating for the institution so future students can make informed decisions based on the experiences of others.

Prior to founding Unipupil, Ms. Leigh amassed close to 20 years of experience in strategic planning, HR management and business development practices. She spent 13 years with Intel in their HR Department, served as Business Development Director for Business2Enterprise (B2E) and was the CEO of eBamma Ltd., an international e-learning business. Well versed in organizational development and leadership, she attributes her success to her hard work and determination to succeed in all her business endeavors.

Ms. Leigh holds a bachelor's degree in industrial relations from the National College of Industrial Relations, a bachelor's degree in management from IT Tallaght, a master's degree in management consultancy from the UCD Smurfit School of Business and a postgraduate diploma in new business development from Docklands Innovation Park. Looking forward, she plans to continue expanding the Unipupil portal and focus on gaining a global audience.
