About me: I am originally from the north of England and graduated with a degree in Mathematics from Brunel University in 2010. With over thirteen years of experience spanning marketing, FMCG and finance, my career has predominantly been within the data analytics, data science and product space.
Before embarking on the MBA at LBS, I worked at Deutsche Bank as an Analytics Manager, where I led a team of data scientists, primarily focused on change projects across the finance division. I was responsible for driving innovation across finance globally and integrating AI/ML solutions to solve complex business problems. Prior to that, I worked at Tesco and More2, developing data solutions and advising on data strategy.
I am pursuing an MBA at LBS with the goal of expanding my business acumen and transitioning my career into impact consulting. The opportunity to engage with a diverse community and the post-MBA opportunities in consulting and finance made LBS the perfect choice.
Outside of my studies, I enjoy travelling, running, playing tennis and football and exploring the live music scene in London.
Three topics I can be approached for: Career transitioning; life at LBS; applying from the UK.
