Experience
LSE German Society
- Currently learning what it means to actually lead.
- I run the LSE German Symposium, Europe's largest student-led conference, at its 25th anniversary.
- I built the team from scratch: 43 people across eight divisions. Together with Nick, I co-founded an Advisory Board with figures including Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger and Bundestag Vice-President Omid Nouripour.
- Under my tenure we broke every record the society had:
- €100k budget
- 3k tickets sold
- 65 scholarship holders funded to attend from Germany
- Doubled social media following
- My main contribution: I led the German Symposium to its largest edition yet, built an AI outreach tool to scale speaker invitations and secured 40+ speakers including former Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
