About me: I graduated with an Economics degree from LSE and began my career in management consulting at a leading boutique firm in London. I worked across a variety of industries such as consumer goods, healthcare and automotive, gaining exposure to both strategy and operations projects. This experience gave me a well-rounded understanding of how to develop strategic initiatives as well as the operational challenges of implementing them effectively within businesses.
I chose to pursue an MBA at LBS to broaden my perspectives and deepen my knowledge of business. LBS was my top choice due to its prime location in London and its stellar reputation.
At LBS, I’m part of the Executive Committees of the Tech Club, Entrepreneurship Club and Cricket Club and I’m also part of the Private Equity and Venture Capital Club. I’m eager to drive greater alumni engagement across these clubs and hope to leave a lasting legacy at LBS.
Outside of academics, I’m passionate about sports, having played multiple sports competitively, particularly cricket and hockey. When I’m not at LBS, you’ll often find me at Lord’s watching the test match or at the Emirates supporting Arsenal.
Three topics I can be approached for: LBS as a British student; UK consulting market; tech/innovation.
