Staff profiles
As these individual stories show, London Business School staff are imaginative, dedicated people working in their different ways to help the School achieve its Vision...
"London Business School is an entirely unique organisation. I challenge anyone to find a more collaborative, open environment to work in. My role in business development gives me the opportunity to interact with students and alumni from over 130 different countries and travel all over the world…so never a dull moment! Over the last year whilst working for London Business School I have sung along with a Japanese rock band in Tokyo, eaten guinea pig in Peru and got entirely lost in Munich.
I've worked in three different positions and there have always been fantastic opportunities to progress. Being part of such a close knit community, we are encouraged to push ourselves and develop all the time. At university, I was terrified that I would end up in an unfulfilling job, so its amazing to be able say with confidence that I have loved the last four years at LBS and feel energised and inspired about the future."

"I previously worked in recruitment in the early-stage technology sector connecting companies with business school students and alumni, so I was always aware of London Business School and its position in the international business community. I am now Senior Sector Manager, covering Technology, Media, Telecoms (TMT) and Venture Capital in the Career Services team. Career Services' role is to create opportunities for students and facilitate access to these talented students to the global business community. The key objectives are to ensure each student improves their career potential and to make London Business School the destination of choice for recruiters.
I am able to connect my previous experiences and passion for working with leading and up-coming companies connecting them with the leaders of tomorrow. Everyday I work with corporate recruiters to help plan their recruitment strategy and support students and alumni on their career journeys."

"My professional interest and passion lies in 'learning and development' and helping others to fulfill their potential. Having worked as a choreographer and director in theatre and holiday resorts I came to a point where I wanted to shift my career into a different direction without missing the buzz of interacting with a diverse group of people.
My career with London Business School began in the Executive Education Department as a Programme Assistant. Six months later, I was promoted to Programme Manager and I now lead a team of Programme Managers as Manager, Programme Experience. My current role even allows me to apply some of my musical theatre skills. For example, I teach a session on leadership through salsa which drives home some of the key lessons in leadership. A lot of people have progressed within London Business School and I count myself very lucky to be one of them. I'm really enjoying my job. The work environment is really, really good."

"My role as a Financial Reporting Accountant is assisting the Deputy Finance Director with all external reporting requirements for relevant funding and regulatory bodies. My position enables me to interact with various individuals and departments across the School. Since I have joined the School I have been involved in preparing several key external reports and accounts and have also got involved internally by assisting my colleagues in arranging and presenting on values at a recent department meeting.
I previously worked in assurance in accounting practices but always wanted to make the move into financial reporting. I was attracted to London Business School to due to their successful history, exciting plans for the future, and which I also felt matched my ambitious nature. After I joined and began to meet people within the School I was overwhelmed by how friendly, helpful and welcoming everybody was and I instantly felt relaxed and part of the team."
