Post graduation from Imperial College with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, I decided to leave the world of engineering and enter the more fast paced investment banking industry, where I started my career out as a foreign exchange trader at Lehman Brothers.In October 2008, following my interest in training & development, I joined SEO London, a charity focused on helping ethnic minorities enter the professional world. I managed their Investment Banking programme, responsible for the recruiting, selection, assessment and training processes for candidates interested in the whole array of investment banking roles. After 2 years, I was promoted to Executive Director, where I had key responsibility for some of SEO's business development initiatives and experienced hiring (SEO Connect) as well as overseeing the Investment Banking programme and general office staffing, managing a team of sixteen. With a background in engineering and finance, as well as a passion for technology and data, I decided to join our family business, SVA Car Lamps & Body Panels, an importer and distributer of crash repair parts. Tasked with growing the E-commerce business, I designed and built two new e-commerce sites, and launched into selling on various e-commerce platforms. With a new brand, The Collision Shop, I am now focused on the insurance certified crash repair part market.My key strengths: Excellent business and functional knowledge of the several industries both in the UK and Europe, especially the Automotive. Fast learner and very enthusiastic about new challenges. Organised, hard working, good problem solver, structured and thorough. Always strive to get the job done to perfection. Understand the value of customers and always willing to get involved with new initiatives.
