What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters innovation and strategic growth within a collaborative team.

I am an MBA candidate at London Business School with a strong background in operational strategy and project management. My experience spans across logistics technology and investment management, where I have successfully led projects that significantly enhanced operational efficiency and storage capacity. I take pride in my ability to drive initiatives from inception to completion, as demonstrated during my internship at Relay Technologies, where I increased storage capacity by 1000% and implemented technology solutions that improved efficiency by 25%.

Prior to my MBA, I spent several years at BlackRock, where I conducted operational due diligence for hedge fund managers and executed investment reporting for a substantial portfolio. My analytical skills and attention to detail allowed me to contribute to the oversight of approximately $31 billion in assets. I have also been recognized for my leadership capabilities, having been selected to represent BlackRock at a prestigious global investment management conference. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive impactful change in organizations.
