About me: Having grown up in London, my professional background is in strategy and consulting. After studying Economics, I joined the central strategy teams at NHS England, where I worked on major national programmes, including preparing the NHS for Brexit and responding to the Covid-19 pandemic. I enjoyed the pace and complexity of shaping strategy at scale and went on to complete my masters in Health Policy alongside my role.
Eager to broaden my exposure beyond government, I transitioned into consulting at a boutique firm in London, specialising in healthcare and government clients. I’ve since delivered projects across digital transformation, strategy development and operational improvement. These experiences have deepened my passion for problem solving and impact.
I chose to pursue the MBA programme at LBS to expand my perspective across industries, build a truly global network and prepare for my next step into the MENA region.
Beyond work, I’m a lifelong Liverpool FC fan, a new father and someone who thrives on connecting with people from diverse backgrounds.
Three topics I can be approached about: Studying as a parent; studying with a partner; applying in round 3.
