What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply strategy and investment thinking—building rigorous financial models, running benchmarking and due diligence, and shaping KPI-driven programs in sectors like education or high-impact growth.

I’m a Strategy and Investment professional currently working as a Senior Associate at L.E.K. Consulting. I focus on turning complex market, financial, and regulatory questions into clear, decision-ready recommendations—especially where education and growth strategy intersect.

In my recent work, I’m building a granular 20-yr P&L for a pioneering AI-forward secondary school (including bottom-up faculty/admin/capex and AI infrastructure costs) and designing 15+ school elements using global benchmarks. I’ve also led strategy work for a revamp of the vocational education sector, defining 10+ KPI-linked initiatives by benchmarking 7+ global vocational ecosystems and shaping a regulatory entity’s organizational structure across 20+ functions.

Before that, I supported investment evaluation at Orios Venture Partners, analyzing 10+ pitch decks by market size, competitive intensity, and business-model viability while assisting deal sourcing. I also delivered vendor due-diligence across multiple markets, assessing attractiveness and competitive positioning and identifying growth levers within a ~35% EBITDA model—reinforcing my bias toward practical, financially grounded strategy.
