About me: I’m a doctor from Solihull in the UK. I trained at the University of Nottingham and spent years working as a surgeon and trackside trauma doctor at elite motorsport events including Formula 1 and MotoGP. I also have some varied pre-MBA experience having moved into finance as the chief of staff within a private equity fund. Alongside my medical career, I run a small creative media business as a passion project to enjoy my photography and cinematography.
I’ve been shaped by difficulties faced within the NHS and healthcare systems in general, and have taken my passion to help people and applied it to a different context via the MBA – to go from treating individuals to changing healthcare systems on a wider scale and attempting to make a broader impact to health equitability.
Outside of work, I enjoy stressing myself out by sky diving. I’m also a keen basketball player and an avid musician.
I’ve been very fortunate in my varied path and will always make myself available to support prospective students exploring their own path to London Business School and beyond.
Three topics I can be approached about: Non-traditional backgrounds; healthcare specialism; any wider
