Shakira

Investment Director

I work Private Equity and am primarily focused on investing in high growth SMEs across the UK. I’m tasked with looking at opportunities across all sectors, however recently most of the companies I look after are in the consumer space. I started my career in Investment Banking, working at Merrill Lynch in the Healthcare Mergers & Acquisitions team.

I studied Chemistry at Oxford University and recently completed an MBA at Columbia Business School. I found the MBA Course to be a highly enriching experience as you meet people from all over the world, with such different perspectives. Outside of work, I love reading, travelling and have recently taken up life drawing. 

What I can help you with:

• Thinking about doing an MBA?

• Working in Investment Banking

• Working in Private Equity
