What is your professional and educational background?

What is the most exciting thing about your work?
The fast-paced nature of what happens in financial markets and intellectual rigour it requires. One is never bored! Figuring out how the world works and what to do about it, whilst being held accountable of the returns of the strategy is the name of the game. It’s a high stakes, high pressure but rewarding role! It’s an area where women are severely under-represented and where role models are so important.
What attracted you to Cambridge Judge Business School and the Executive MBA?
The diversity of background of the cohort and the legacy of such an esteemed university! Many things have happened in 8+ centuries but Cambridge University is here just as glorious, just as beautiful. It’s an incredible place to call my academic home!
What are your career ambitions in the long term?
Leading multi-asset investment teams as a CIO and later C-suite vision and implementation.
