Describe your career journey from being a student at King's to being in your current role

After graduating, I embarked on a graduate programme with HSBC in Geneva. After one and a half years, I moved into a Hedge Funds Advisor role in Zurich within the same bank. Then, I decided to change industry and joined the Fedex business development team. Six years ago, I joined specialty chemicals company Clariant. I started in-house consulting and I’m now heading a global market segment.

What's the one thing you enjoy most about your current role?

It’s a general management role and I really like that broad set of challenges, both commercially and technically.

What have been your biggest achievements in business and your career so far?

I became a Global Segment Head three years ago as one of the youngest jobholders.
