Why did you choose LSE, and why did you choose your programme of study?
Great reputation, experienced lecturers, impressive classmates, and a fantastic location - what more could you want?
Overall, how do you look back on your LSE experience?
It was fantastic to be immersed in such a cosmopolitan environment, and making friends with people from all sorts of backgrounds!
Please describe your career path to date:
Doing the MSc was a great way to confirm that consulting was the right field for me. That led me to EY, who was offering a chance to explore a number of different roles within the firm. Over the last three years, I've moved across multiple teams including both Advisory and Transactions, deepening my understanding of the business, before finding a fantastic opportunity to work in a rapidly growing new industry.
Why did you choose your current job?
Finance touches everyone's lives in multiple ways, and FinTech is looking to change how the FS industry operates - not just for banks or individuals but also across every other industry.
Tell us about your current job:
I work with EY's global head of FinTech, meaning I see both sides of practice development - the client work and how to keep a team running!
What advice do you have for LSE students who are looking to enter a similar profession to you?
Try to take up something new every year - you'll be surprised what talents you have (it also makes for great dinner party conversation!)
