What would the trip of a lifetime be for you?
I would love to go scuba diving in the Galapagos. I am fascinated by nature and love beaches. The Galapagos would offer an opportunity to explore an exceptional environment as well as spend some time relaxing by the sea.
What is your favourite city in the world? And why?
London! It is an incredibly cosmopolitan city and has so much to offer in terms of food, culture, career etc. It is a very easy place to fit into and call home. I would change the weather though…
What do you like the most about APIS?
Working and learning from a team of remarkable and accomplished people, combined with work that is engaging and improves people’s lives.
Why work in Growth Markets?
Having grown up in emerging markets, I have seen both the challenges and opportunities businesses in these markets are presented with. I have found it rewarding to work with businesses to overcome these challenges and realise their potential, and ultimately shape the evolution of these markets.
