Describe your career to date
After attending school, I went to the University of Greenwich to study Political Economy. Following this, my career started in investment banking within NatWest Markets managing the investment portfolio of major energy companies before joining the Credit Strategy team at One 2 One (T-Mobile and now EE). During my time at One 2 One, I held senior roles within the Finance and Commercial Teams and was actively involved in large scale change initiatives including replacing their billing and CRM system, as well as other industry changing projects. After time spent as an independent consultant working across Europe and India, I went on to co-found Sagacity alongside two business partners, leveraging our operational backgrounds, business acumen and programme delivery expertise to provide business solutions to large blue chip organisations. Sagacity started in 2005, working predominantly in telecoms. From there, we diversified into energy, water, financial services, and so on. As we increased our sector presence, we also developed our offering, moving from purely consultancy basis into delivering a platform and software to help our clients. Importantly, this allowed us to make our service more predictive, accurate and repeatable, which let us begin to grow at pace. We have 180 employees and 250 clients with robust plans for organic growth and targeted acquisitions. Our investment by Queens Park Equity in 2021 demonstrated both my ambition for growth together with the confidence of external investors who were as passionate about our people as they were about our business.
