About me: I began my career at the Magic Circle corporate law firm Slaughter and May, where I worked for five years on high-stakes cross-border cases before transitioning into the startup world.
Most recently, I served as VP of Operations at Stacker, a software as a service (Saas) startup backed by YC and a16z, where I was responsible for leading business operations, cross-functional strategic initiatives and developing a high-performing culture to support rapid business growth. Prior to this, I held senior roles across special projects, operations and product at multiple tech startups in London.
Drawn to LBS for its entrepreneurial focus and diverse global community, I am passionate about fostering innovation, tackling multidisciplinary challenges and developing as an empathetic, effective leader. I am eager to round out my business skillset and gain deeper strategic insights into the key drivers of business growth.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new cultures, discovering unique restaurants and capturing moments of joy through film photography.
Three topics I can be approached for: Choosing LBS as a London local; career transitions; tech.
