Subject: International Business Administration and Finance

Sector(s) of interest: Consulting

My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: The time needed to thoroughly get to know the community (but it was worth it)!

About me: Prior to joining the MiM programme at LBS, I studied International Business Administration at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. During my degree, I spent a semester abroad at the University of Michigan in the US.

At university, I was involved in the RSM STAR Case Club, where I served as executive director and treasurer. In this role, I trained more than 70 students and took part in eight international case competitions across four continents, achieving several top finishes and individual awards. These experiences sparked my passion for solving complex problems, working in diverse teams and learning from people around the world.

After my studies, I worked as a consultant at Kearney in Munich, where I had the chance to work on projects related to innovation strategy, R&D investment and manufacturing incentive schemes for both government and corporate clients. It gave me great exposure to different industries and confirmed that I really enjoy tackling new challenges.

In my free time, you’ll usually find me on the tennis court, but I also love skiing, hiking and exploring new countries. I’m always happy to chat about the MiM programme, London life, sports, innovation or consulting, so feel free to reach out!

Three topics I can be approached about: Consulting; motivation; London life.
