When were you at Warwick?
I studied the Exec MBA, which meant going to Warwick for 5 day blocks every 6 weeks or so between 2006 and 2009.
Do you have any fond memories?
Lively debate within our groups led to some great lectures, I probably learned as much from my colleagues as I did from the teaching! I’m still in touch with a lot of people I met on the MBA, and some of those contacts have led to consulting projects. I cherish the time and people I met at Warwick, many of whom I’m still in touch with.
Where did you live while you were at Warwick?
I lived in Leicester but stayed on campus during my 5 day modules.
Were you a member of any societies?
It wouldn’t have worked for me as I was on campus so infrequently, but did volunteer as a Staff Student Liaison Committee member.
What are you doing now?
I set up my own consulting business in 2014, offering management consulting services to both commercial and education based clients.
Why did you decide to become an ambassador?
To continue my connection with Warwick, and help promote the outstanding work WBS does. Speaking to existing and past students really helped me to choose Warwick, in fact that’s what made the difference, and I’m happy to do the same for prospective students starting on their journey, and alumni wanting to stay connected.
Anything else you care to add?
Warwick is a special place. There’s lots of ways alumni can get involved, or stay connected, I would encourage anyone to get back in touch and continue their 'Warwick experience'.
