Douglas Wyrley-Birch

I am an ambitious and driven student with a passion for solving complex business challenges. I am currently undertaking a MSc in Management at Imperial College London to develop an in-depth understanding of how businesses are built, managed, and transformed. My academic background, coupled with practical experiences in insurance, digital transformation, and leadership roles, has equipped me with a diverse skill set. I am also currently pursuing a Wall Street Prep certificate to further enhance my financial modeling abilities. I am enthusiastic about connecting with professionals in the fields of management consulting and finance, and excited to explore opportunities that align with my skills and aspirations.
