About me: I was born and raised in North West London and graduated with a masters in Engineering from the University of Cambridge. After university, I founded an independent tutoring company, mentoring secondary school students in maths and science, both paid and pro-bono.
Passionate about applying my problem-solving skills to real-world business challenges, I joined AlphaSights, a primary research firm connecting investors with industry experts. As an associate, I delivered deal intelligence to private equity clients across major European buyouts. Later, as a manager, I founded and led a team to launch a new M&A due diligence product for private equity and credit funds.
I was drawn to LBS for its welcoming community, flexible course structure and London location, providing the ideal environment to broaden my technical skills and explore new career directions.
Outside of the classroom, I’m an avid adventure traveller. I recently trekked through the Amazon and learned to scuba dive in Hurghada, both unforgettable experiences. I also love live music, spending quality time with friends and family and unwinding with a good Netflix series.
Three topics I can be approached about: Applying from the UK; student life at LBS; exploring career transitions.
