Greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark!

I am an entrepreneur turned investor with corporate experience from Maersk. I have previously launched a few ventures in the space of energy technology and life sciences. At present, however, I have moved to the other side of the table as an green investment manager with the Danish sovereign fund where I do VC and PE investments in companies situated within the geography of the Danish Kingdom (Denmark, Faroe Islands, Greenland).

I am particularly interested in companies working within the areas of hardware, power electronics, chemical engineering, nanotech, biotech, material sciences food sciences and environmental services. I enjoy technologies that can deliver real impact (financial, societal, and environmental), and I enjoy meeting like-minded people.

I look forward to meeting you virtually during our joint lectures and throughout the programme. In the mean time, please feel free to connect with me on linkedin:

I am managing a multifamily office in New Delhi, India with the name of Osia Capital. We provide dedicated personal and professional services to families. This often includes one or more individuals managing the operational aspects of the family life such as residences, travel, asset allocation accounting, tax & estate planning, legal advisory, philanthropic, risk and investment management.

I am planning to start a new venture in the fixed income space with a friend of mine and I find no better course than LBS TEE where I can brainstorm with people with collective perspective but diversified inputs. Moreover, the program will help me understand the process of floating a business from the germination of an idea to value creation for the society.

Hi Folks!

It's very nice to meet you all and to read your interesting profiles. I'm excited to go on this journey with such a diverse and experienced group of people!

My name is Cian (pronounced 'Keen') based in Dublin, Ireland and I am a software developer by trade, working for a multi-national telecoms company as a team lead/architect for the past decade.
Prior to telecoms, I worked in the video games industry as an audio programmer, creating immersive sound environments for players.
I would in no way consider myself a business person, but I have launched a profitable medical company with my wife, who is a medical doctor. I run the operations and finance side of the business in my spare time and
while my role is not particularly busy or taxing, it has given me the sense that I can grow something with a little application and focus.
However, my passion lies in technology and I have enrolled in this course to develop some ideas that I have been exploring for the past number of years.
What I really want to get from this course is to test the feasibility and potential of my idea, to understand if there is a market for it, and to gain the confidence to bring it to fruition.

I'm looking forward to not only connecting with you but also learning and growing alongside like-minded people!

Hi everyone,

It is a great pleasure to join this course and meeting you all virtually.

My name is Sultan Marenov, I am originally from Kazakhstan, but since 2005 I have been living in different countries. Currently, I live in Singapore and run my own investment and management company, which I have activated a few months ago. It was actually established in 2018, but was dormant and waiting for its time. And the time has come. In fact, this is the reason for participating in this course and the desire to immediately apply all the new knowledge gained from our professors, mentors and peers in real practice.

I have over 22 years of senior experience in commercial banking, microfinance and fintech industries. I worked in Eastern Europe for 10 years and was CEO of the commercial bank. In 2015 I established, with a group of investors, the successful and award-winning greenfield Microfinance business in Myanmar. In parallel, from 2015 to 2021 as a co-founding partner and CEO I have built a financial group in South-East Asia, which is headquartered in Singapore with more than 650 staff across the region (Singapore, Myanmar, Vietnam and Indonesia).

Lets stay connected on LinkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/in/sultanmarenov/

I look forward to learning together and from each other.

Cheers,

Sultan

Hello !
A Twenty one year old commerce graduate filled in with energy that reflects when people talk business is the way I would define myself. I am keen about management and ofcourse entrepreneurship, I think it is in my DNA. Currently, working on publishing an anthology and pursuing Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).

It is often said, "People who hate mathematics generally love English." I think I personify this statement. I am passionate about all things artsy which made me start my instagram handle "thereality_thoughts" sharing experiences coupled with sarcasm (not always) :P
Link : https://www.instagram.com/thereality_thoughts/

I would go crazy on finding things handmade because machines work wonders but real effort lies in creating things than picking. I feel the SI Unit of an Indian household is cost-cutting. :P

I have literally spent my childhood days in Ghungroo (Indian anklet tied on the feet of classical dancers) most of the time and that is what got me a 2nd Best solo dancer award at the National level competition.

Lastly, I would say a stage and a mic is my survival kit, that is how much I love speaking. For me, communication is the eighth wonder of the world! Let me know what do you think about communication :)

Hi everyone. Good to see you all. What an interesting bunch! And so much business expertise already! I'm impressed. I'm Diane and I'm UK-based.

I have no great business expertise claims to make. But what I do have is a big appetite for: learning and developing; taking on challenges, risks, taking the plunge; the drive to make things happen; a great imagination; and the ability to start again when things don't quite go to plan. Will that do? I was a British diplomat for many years, working on demanding policy issues, connecting with people and organisations from all walks of life all over the world, and before that I was a journalist, a teacher, and a volunteer on a hundred different projects.

Why am I here? Because impact entrepreneurship really excites me. I interviewed several impact entrepreneurs for a French article I wrote recently;  it made me feel SO alive. 'Do good. Offer people agency to improve their lives at minimal cost to themselves. And make money?' Brilliant, no? I thought this course might give me the tools to test the water with a smallish venture for a little idea I had, let me learn the ropes and see whether entrepreneurship's a good fit for me or not .... before I go all out for something REALLY ambitious and audacious...!!! :)

Look forward to meeting you all soon, and picking your brains! :)

And yes, I'm the one in the dark blue below...

Hello everyone

Good to read through your profiles and get to know you. Here's is a bit about me:

I'm Nicola from UK based in Surrey / working London.

I am a marketing consultant with 20+ years experience gained in FMCG marketing. I began my career with Fujitsu as Business Analyst and then a brand marketing career at Unilever. I have managed brand portfolios to growth and enjoyed big brand budgets and working with big media agency's. My experience includes innovation as well as brand activation TV, Press, Digital, PR, campaign management. Consumer brands you may recognise are Carte D'or and Wall's Ice Cream and Cornetto. I moved from Unilever to take a Brand Controller role managing a brand portfolio called Whole Earth (peanut butter) and pushed the no.1 brand off the top spot. I also launched Almond Breeze into the UK market licensing from the USA (it's great on cereal not so in coffee ;-).

My husband of 21yrs works for Bank of America in global markets technology. Whilst raising our son I set up as a brand consultant advising founders at start-up stage. This has included a baby shoe brand that listed in Harvey Nicks, a new drinks brand that won best innovation and listed in Whole Foods, a confectionary brand that launched across major retailers, a foodie subscription box. In 2020 I created a speciality coffee brand from my kitchen table was all set to launch with packaging/product but paused (some would say my timing was off).

This year I have provided an advisory marketing role to a London based tech startup. Working with the founder and co-founders. This has involved business model canvas creation, investment doc preparation, product market fit process, market insight, developing the brand identity, trends and qual/quant research, evaluating MVP vs product market fit and value proposition, brand strategy and marketing.

Inspired by my last project and the tech world I now ready to validate my next venture. I have a thirst for knowledge and am excited to be part of this programme and collaborating with other entrepreneurial spirits.

best
Nicola

Hello everyone, my name is Quentin, it is a pleasure to meet you all virtually.

I am originally from the US but lived in several countries before permanently moving to the UK, where I also hold citizenship.  I worked at Deloitte UK for 14 years advising private equity funds on US tax and international regulations before starting my current business doing the same.

While at Deloitte I developed a software programme to serve my client base which we took to market.  While not a technology expert myself I learned how to build a structure based on business rules to develop software and am now finalising a new proprietary technology which I am starting to introduce in the market.

I have numerous advanced degrees and certifications but through all my years of education the most important thing I learned is that the key to success is to surround yourself with people that bring value to you personally and in business. I am interested in learning more concepts and methods from this course but am most looking forward to working with all of you.

Hello,

My name is Marco Principi, i am from Milan and i come from Italy.

I have a degree in philosophy, I am a professional in the fashion world and I recently completed a course in Digital Analytics and Digital Strategy  with MIT and one in Digital Communication with SDA Bocconi.

I have decided to take this further course to complete my personal journey with the idea of creating my own company again.

I want  to create a company (in the fashion business)  that is linked to data,.
I consider it the present and also the future and I believe that in my country, where there are many small and medium-sized companies still not digitized, there is a lot to do.

I also launched two free podcasts one called "Special people" in which I interview people who I think are special and who I believe can inspire others with their stories and the other called "Tips" in which I give suggestions.

Hello everyone and have a good course.
