My MBA term key takeaways: Energy & environment
Wrapping up the Easter Term of the Cambridge MBA, my key takeaways have revolved around Energy. In May, we successfully hosted the 2025 CUEN (Cambridge University Energy Network) Conference.

Nurturing technology driven enterprises with global impact – a CUTEC conference
Representing Cambridge Judge Business School at the TVC 2025 conference, hosted by CUTEC (Cambridge University Technology & Enterprise Club) at Cambridge Union, was an extraordinary opportunity to showcase innovation alongside an impressive cohort of fellow entrepreneurs. Each of us pitched our startups independently, contributing to a day rich with ideas, energy and global ambition. I […]

A powerful launchpad – my MBA at Cambridge
Pivoting from a career in capital markets to launching my own start up has been both bold and deeply fulfilling. The fast paced deal making and pressure tested decision-making I developed in finance have translated seamlessly into the entrepreneurial world. But it was through the MBA that I truly connected with a deeper purpose, exploring […]
Finding peace in being undefined – an MBA alumna view
While many of my Cambridge MBA peers were posting exciting job updates, I was genuinely happy for them – but also a little nervous about my own quiet LinkedIn. Since leaving the UK, I’ve been constantly trying things, experimenting, building – but without a job title, a company, a fixed sector, or even a clear […]
MBA and motherhood
Where do I start? That’s the daily voice in my head with mom’s brain and most possibly how I start this too. Motherhood is messy and most of the time confusing. But pursuing my MBA at Cambridge while navigating pregnancy and new motherhood has taught me that we’re capable of far more than we imagine. […]
A Japanese garden training programme in Kyoto for an MBA alumnus
After stepping away from my previous role at Traveloka, I’ve taken the time to pause, reflect and explore passions that have long inspired me. One of the most enriching experiences during this sabbatical has been completing a Japanese garden training programme in Kyoto. I was fortunate to participate in a once-a-year training session hosted by […]
Why the most valuable part of my MBA wasn’t in the classroom
As the Easter term comes to an end, I have been reflecting on what this MBA journey has truly meant. I flew from Bangkok to Cambridge expecting an intense academic experience: strategy frameworks, financial models, and case studies. And the programme delivered that. But for someone with an accounting and finance background like me, the […]

And then there were three – my MBA family
3 reflections on our experience starting a family during my Cambridge MBA year: Zoe Conitsiotis was brought into the world at the Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge, early in the Easter Term. Her arrival in Spring marked an important milestone during my family’s time in Cambridge whilst I am undertaking the Cambridge MBA, and provides a natural […]

This week at Cambridge Judge, we had the privilege of hearing from Robert W. Ferguson Jr., former Vice Chair of the US Federal Reserve and a key figure in shaping U.S. monetary policy during a pivotal time in global finance. His career spans leadership roles at the Fed and in financial markets, giving him a […]
Karting and racing through my MBA year at Cambridge
To be completely honest I didn’t think racing was something I’d get to do during my year at Cambridge. While I knew the U.K. had a fantastic karting scene at the university level, I felt that part of my life was done. However, during the society fair in the first term, I had a chance […]

My University of Cambridge MBA graduation ceremony

From collaborating on healthcare projects with globally leaders in Johnson & Johnson, The World Bank Group and Novartis, to forging lifelong friendships with classmates from every corner of the […]
Cambridge MBA: Quantitative finance as an MBA
I chose Cambridge for my MBA in part because it’s one of the world’s premier STEM universities and I sought an environment where I could pursue technical projects and entrepreneurship on top of the classic MBA curriculum. Towards the end of last year, I decided to explore quantitative finance by taking part in the Cambridge […]
