About me: My career has taken me from private equity and financial services to building go-to-market strategy at a tech company. I’ve never been particularly good at staying in one box, which is probably why I’ve enjoyed every pivot. I like figuring out unfamiliar things, asking too many questions and connecting dots that don’t always seem related.
I came to London Business School to challenge myself, meet people whose lives and perspectives are different from mine, and explore where I want to take my career next. I’m drawn to strategy, tech, fashion and luxury, particularly the stories behind how businesses grow and how certain brands become much more than just a product.
Outside work, I’m a trained classical singer with a soft spot for live music, art and a really good story. I can happily lose an afternoon discovering a tiny café, stumbling upon a hidden speakeasy or planning my next trip. I love conversations that start with one topic and somehow end up somewhere completely unexpected.
I’m curious by nature, rarely short of questions and usually up for an adventure. At London Business School, I’m looking forward to collecting perspectives, friendships and a few unexpected plot twists along the way.
Three topics I can be approached about: Career pivots; life in London and at London Business School; anything and everything!
