About me: I served for around ten years in the British Army across the Regulars and Reserves, including with the Coldstream Guards and the 16 Air Assault Brigade Combat Team. I was fortunate to deploy on operations in West Africa and support several high-profile events across Europe and the UK. After leaving the Army, I set up a defence venture scouting firm, which gave me valuable insight into the defence ecosystem, from venture capital to the startups operating within it.
I chose London Business School for its global community and its location in London, making it the ideal place to broaden my network beyond defence. The transition to an MBA has been a challenge I’ve thoroughly enjoyed, applying my leadership and problem-solving skills in a new environment while learning just as much from my peers’ diverse experiences. After London Business School, I hope to work at the intersection of defence, technology and investment.
As a Londoner, I love showing my city to the London Business School community and have organised several trips to its hidden gems. I also support the Expeditions Club, including planning next year’s Arctic expedition. I’m always happy to chat with anyone considering the move from the military to an MBA.
Three topics I can be approached about: Military transition; entrepreneurship; living in London.
