About me: I read computer science at Newcastle University and financial technology at Imperial in the UK. I then spent close to three years at PwC Strategy&, where I worked mainly with healthcare and life sciences clients on growth strategy and transactions. After PwC, I joined First Property Group plc, a listed commercial property investor, as an investment and asset manager, working on acquisitions and asset management across the UK.
I chose London Business School for the range and depth of its finance electives and for London itself. The one-year format lets me study at depth without leaving the city or losing touch with the market. My electives are concentrated in private equity, corporate finance, valuation and distressed investing.
I serve as a community representative for the MBA1Y2027 cohort. I am glad to hear from anyone considering London Business School, whatever the question, and can speak from experience on moving from consulting or technology into finance, sitting the CFA alongside an MBA, and healthcare and life sciences.
Three topics I can be approached about: Moving from consulting or technology into finance and investing; healthcare and life sciences; the one-year programme and London as a base.
