The LBS Military in Business Club is a community in which veterans of all nationalities can connect. The club engages in a range of activities, including CV and cover letter workshops; focused veterans’ networking events with top firms like McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Goldman Sachs, and Amazon; social gatherings; and service events aimed at supporting local veterans’ charities.
In this podcast, three of our Military in Business members discuss their decision to pursue an MBA at London Business School as part of their transition to civilian roles. Why an MBA? And why London Business School? Listen here:
"If I’d left the military and gone straight into a random job I guarantee I’d have had to move around a lot before finding my niche. I’ve ended up where I want to spend the next 20 years of life – I couldn’t have asked for anything more from my MBA than that. "

"I left the Navy ready to make the transition to civilian life and I needed the time and space to reflect on what I had and what I still needed, having no experience in the corporate sector. I chose LBS because of the international dimension of the School."
Andi Frkovich
MBA2020, American
"I love the global aspect of LBS; I’ve lived in Germany and Bermuda and served in Afghanistan and South Korea. I’m drawn to international business and learning from other cultures."
Brady Dearden

"Enrolling on London Business School’s Executive MBA was the most efficient way to convert my military experience into a business context. I chose LBS because of the reputation the business school has in the financial sector."

London Business School recognises the positive impact and value of military experience within the school community and offers this LBS scholarship to support candidates who have been employed in a full-time military role in their career so far. Find out more here.
The UK Military scholarship is funded by Ian Hannam MSc17(1984), a former captain in the Territorial Army, in which he served 20 years. He is the founder of Hannam & Partners, a leading independent investment bank, and was formerly Chairman of Global Capital Markets at J.P. Morgan.
Given that he started in the military and has successfully set up his own investment bank, through the scholarship he wants to support candidates from a similar background to him as they transition from military to the private sector. Find out more.
