About me: Before joining London Business School, I spent seven years in M&A, most recently as an Associate Director at CORPIN. There, I advised founders, corporates and financial investors on equity, debt and restructuring deals across a range of industries. Some of my most rewarding moments came from helping founders find the right partner to take their business into its next chapter.
I chose the One-year MBA programme at London Business School to gain a deeper understanding of how great businesses are built and scaled, broaden my expertise beyond corporate finance, and learn from a diverse international cohort spanning every continent.
I look forward to advancing my career in London and being close to the investors, operators and founders shaping the consumer, healthcare and tech industries, which I’m particularly passionate about. Here, a conversation that starts in class can easily continue over coffee at a company down the road.
Outside the classroom, you’ll find me discovering new coffee spots across London, on a padel court or training for my next half marathon.
Three topics I can be approached about: Why choose the One-year MBA programme; life and opportunities at London Business School; M&A.
