About me: Before starting the MBA at London Business School, I spent several years in renewable energy. I began as a technical asset manager for solar PV sites across the US and UK, working for a Dublin-based developer. Most recently, I moved into project management for the construction of battery storage, solar PV and wind projects across Europe, based in Amsterdam.
I pursued the MBA to build a more commercial toolkit and to understand the strategic and financial decisions companies make. I chose London Business School for the length of its programme, the opportunities for experiential learning, and the location, which gives me access to a strong business network in London.
After the programme, I plan to pursue a career in consulting to sharpen these skills and broaden my industry knowledge, while continuing to explore how businesses can reduce their environmental impact and tackle climate change.
At London Business School, I cycle regularly with the Cycling Club and go on trips with my cohort. I hope to get PADI certified.
Three topics I can be approached about: Irish candidates; transitioning from a technical background; sustainability focus.
