London Area, United Kingdom
Former professional rugby player studying for an MBA at London Business School. Aspire to use my leadership skills, teamwork ability and work ethic acquired during a successful career in rugby to kick-start a career in Investment Management. I grew up in Bloemfontein, South Africa and went on to study Actuarial Science at the University of Stellenbosch. Before long I was a regular in the Western Province rugby team and a professional career awaited me. When the call came to join Racing 92 in Paris, France, I obliged and we managed to gain promotion into the first division during my first season. Eventually stayed for 9 seasons, playing over 200 games and captaining the side. The highlight being TOP 14 champions and playing in the final of the European Cup. My next chapter was in Lyon, France where I captained the LOU side in my first game. I helped install a winning culture in the recently promoted team and we played in consecutive championship semi-finals. Passionate about financial markets and business, I am currently doing an MBA at London Business School and looking for an internship for the 2020 summer. I’m always interested in hearing from friends, colleagues, or just interesting people, so feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] if you would like to connect.
