About me: Prior to starting the One-year MBA at London Business School, energy and climate are what I’ve ended up gravitating towards since university, more out of interest than any plan. Before this, I spent a few years at UBS doing research, and before that at LSEG and a think tank, writing about energy economics.
I pursued the MBA to make the jump from research to more transaction-focused investment banking, but also to explore buy-side equity roles.
I studied Geography at Oxford and did a masters at LSE part-time while working, which I wouldn’t recommend to anyone unless you hate weekends.
Outside work, I play tag rugby, cycle and ski badly but enthusiastically.
Three topics I can be approached about: Finance; balancing work and life; clubs.
