Career history pre-MBA

Tell us what you were doing when you started the MBA:

I started my career in the Civil Service Fast Stream – Department for Work and Pensions. I did this for seven years. I then became a Project Manager at NEST.

Why did you choose to study your MBA?

I was attracted to the opportunity to learn a 360° view of business. In my career, I had always been a generalist and wanted to gain enough knowledge and experience of each area of the business to be an ever better generalist! I also wanted to expand my network outside of the public sector.

Not a year goes by where I don’t draw on the MBA network. The MBA has hugely contributed to my career, it really was the pivotal point of my career.
