Outside of full-time work or building startups, I've always been involved in organizations, projects and initiatives that inspire and challenge me. Below are a few examples, but don't hesitate to get in touch if you have a new one for me to get involved with!
World Economic Forum - Global Shapers
In 2014, I was named a Global Shaper with the World Economic Forum, and during this time I founded "Reading for Change" as a social enterprise. This initiative went on to win "most promising social enterprise" and received funding from the Coca-Cola foundation at Davos in 2016.
Mentoring
Being able to help and mentor entrepreneurs and students to bring their very best is a true passion of mine. Whether it's at a high school, King's College London, Oxford University or elsewhere, I'm always happy to share my experience and lessons learned along the way. Receiving the Helen Hudson Award for my mentoring work was a privilege and an honour.
Speaking Engagements
Over the years, I've been invited to speak at a LOT of conferences, corporate events, and as a guest lecturer at Oxford and other universities. My speaking style is highly informal and engaging (as you can see in the video), and I always tailor each presentation for the specific audience.
Get in touch if you are looking for a speaker for your next event!
