I think it’s imperative to not get too comfortable and like to set myself new challenges whenever I can. Outside of work I’m a runner, I find being out in the open air and nature is good for the soul.

Continuously learning drives me. If I woke up tomorrow and found myself independently wealthy, I would become a permanent student – Science, History, Literature, Language, Art… I would dive into it all. I live in Colorado, so you can usually find me on a mountain trail, getting dirty and loving every minute of it.

Being healthy and happy are the two most important things to me and that I would wish for others. I also love being outdoors and am a keen runner, having recently completed my second marathon.

I have a passion for continual learning through new experiences. From attempting a new cuisine to moving to a new country, I feel the best way to grow is to put yourself in situations you haven’t had opportunity to before.

Good intentions and compassion are important to me. In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

Beyond the workplace, I’m a massive cooking geek and love experimenting and perfecting my food game. I can sous vide the perfect 63 degree egg, brew kombucha and cure my own salmon.

To me, time is well spent when it’s with friends and family. I love to travel and experience new places, and have an obsession with sport, whether that’s getting out on the golf course or just watching the rugby in the pub.

Social justice and equality are important to me. I am eager to educate myself about issues and where possible support the different causes I feel strongly about. Outside of work, I love sport – both playing and watching. Coming from India, I am very predictably a cricket buff! Besides sport, I like to get my guitar out and strum a few songs.

I believe in lifelong learning and am always eager to absorb new information and skills. I love running, going to the theater, watercolor painting, and cooking or baking.

Fun and laughter are very important to me! I like to make sure there’s enough for everyone. I also enjoy whizzing about on my bicycle, exploring places, organising stuff, any sport that doesn’t require any skill, and plagiarising the odd tune.

Balance is important to me, just the right amount of family, friends, alone-time, work, exercise, idling, seriousness and silliness. You might be surprised by the amount of time I spend thinking about skateboarding.

A focal point for me is to always try new things and encourage others to do the same, not being afraid to be bad at something if you’re having fun doing it. Outside of work I love the outdoors – swimming, walking, gardening, and I’m an amateur potter.

Senior Principal

An insights and brand & marketing specialist, fascinated by consumer behaviour, purchase decisions and how brands can effectively leverage these in their big picture thinking across channels.

I like to make a difference; drawing on my own experiences to have meaningful conversations about a myriad of topics. Art, food, wine, and sports are passions of mine. And of course my two daughters, whose ever-changing needs and personalities are endlessly exasperating!

I am passionate about preserving remnants of the past. When I can, I spend time at flea markets and vintage stores adding to my collection of old things (art, magazines, records, furniture, clothes, and so much more). There is just something special about owning a piece of someone’s past.

I love to be challenged and put outside my comfort zone. Outside of work I am an avid surfer, runner, and movie watcher!

Keeping a positive outlook and being optimistic is important to me. I’m the annoying friend who looks for the best in situations rather than letting you just rant about a problem. My favourite definition of an Optimist is someone who figures taking a step backwards after taking one forwards isn’t a disaster – it’s more like a cha-cha! That definitely sums it up for me!

I try to get a little bit better every day in all aspects of life, from parenting and relationships to personal skills and professional competence. Some of my passions are playing and coaching table tennis, continually exploring all things Barcelona, and learning languages.

A few things important to me are friends, family and food. I can usually be found sampling the delights London has to offer, be it food, drink or experiences… or just watching the football.
