Welcome! I’m 16 and run my school’s finance society at a UK state grammar school. I also help lead a wider initiative focused on expanding access to finance education and industry exposure for state school students across the UK, with sessions reaching 100+ students.

We’re currently looking for speakers for a short virtual Q&A or talk over Zoom / Google Meet. Would really appreciate if you’d be open to it given your M&A background - many of us consider M&A to be a target.

Happy to keep it flexible and share questions in advance.
