Quoted by the Financial Times

My best performing article on Medium is about Pret's coffee subscription:

And it was quoted by the Financial Times here:

Webinars/Workshops

HSYLC-X

I was massively underqualified and felt humbled to teach a class of 30 on 'How to be a Student Entrepreneur'. It was a group of Chinese high school students who attended an online summer bootcamp called HSYLC: The HAUSCR Summit for Young Leaders in China.

I also directed their Capstone Projects where students had to present their ideas framed around the Lean Canvas.

Workshop for OX1 20/21 Cohort

I delivered the first workshop on problem-spotting as student founders for OX1 Incubator's 2020 - 2021 cohort.

Speaking events about how AI assists UCAS applications

More about Appli, the AI SaaS ed-tech startup I worked for.
