Her work at both of these institutions has allowed her to build a group of like-minded individuals who are committed to entrepreneurship and uplifting society. Together, the organisations have created over 10 million jobs for women entrepreneurs.

This term we welcomed back Inverto | A BCG Company, to host our annual BSc Management Consulting Competition. We selected 16 undergraduates to work on a business case, and present their ideas about optimising supply chain challenges back to the consultants from Inverto. In addition to learning about how supply chains work around the globe, students had a chance to develop their analytical, teamwork, and presentation skills. We appreciate collaborating with forward thinking organisations like Inverto, who recognise the value of upskilling the next generation of young consultants and immersing them in real life business challenges. #LSEManagement #PartofLSE #CorporatePartner
