About me
Creating a strategy is a process of fact-finding, critical thinking and ultimately imagination. I happen to be an obsessive fact-finder, a critical thinker and an imaginative human being. I take this strategic-thinking capability into all of my consultancy work helping to facilitate re-branding, craft marketing strategies and engage in business development. I’m also a graduate of a Redbrick, Russell Group and AACSB/EQUIS accredited university with a Master of Science in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management with distinction. In addition, I was awarded the “Student of the Year (2019)” for both achieving the highest GPA in my program and my innovative dissertation work on leadership and organizational culture.
