Tell us about your career so far
With over four years of experience spanning engineering, analytics, and strategic delivery in the utility sector, I have led high-impact digital transformation initiatives for utility clients, translating complex technical work into tangible business outcomes. My role involved owning client relationships, defining project scope, driving automation, and improving decision-making through data insight platforms. I frequently led onsite engagements in Japan and independently managed Australian clients, working with senior stakeholders, cross-functional teams, and tight timelines. This experience strengthened my ability to think strategically, manage risk, and deliver results in global, high-pressure environments.
Why did you choose to study an MBA at the University of Birmingham?
Birmingham Business School stood out for its strong focus on strategic leadership, applied learning, and real-world relevance. The MBA’s emphasis on strategy, consulting-style projects, and responsible management aligns directly with my goal of moving into senior strategic roles. I was particularly drawn to the programme’s global cohort, strong employer engagement, and opportunities to work on live business challenges. Birmingham offers the right balance of analytical depth and practical exposure to help me sharpen my strategic judgment and transition from execution-focused roles to broader business leadership.
What are your career aspirations after completing the MBA?
In the short term, I aim to move into a strategy or consulting role where I can work on business transformation, digital strategy, and operational improvement. Long term, I aspire to take on leadership roles in global organisations within technology, energy, or infrastructure, driving sustainable growth and innovation. With my technical foundation and international exposure, my goal is to bridge business strategy and execution, lead diverse teams, and contribute to decisions that create measurable value for both organisations and society.
