What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and values data-driven insights.

I am a strategy and operations professional with a strong background in process optimisation and data-driven decision-making. My experience spans across fintech, trading, and infrastructure, where I have successfully leveraged data to enhance workflows and drive commercial insights. I hold a Master's degree from the London School of Economics and have developed a keen ability to collaborate cross-functionally, ensuring that projects are executed efficiently and effectively.

During my tenure at B2C2, I led a DDQ transformation initiative that significantly reduced response times and improved operational efficiency by 80%. My analytical skills were further demonstrated through the development of financial models that optimised margins and reduced costs by 15%. I am passionate about using technology to streamline processes, as evidenced by my work with AI chatbots and automation tools that have drastically cut down on query resolution times.

In addition to my professional experience, I am actively involved in the startup ecosystem as a Venture Capital Scout, where I evaluate early-stage UK startups for investment opportunities. I am committed to continuous learning and improvement, as reflected in my certifications in data analytics and my proficiency in various technical tools.
