We are delighted to welcome our new graduate consultants to the Amberside team. Rosie, Leon, Daniel and Zaydaan started their onboarding last week and soon will be supporting our more experienced team members with delivering mandates across financial modelling and commercial advisory teams.
Daniel studied philosophy at the University of Birmingham as an undergraduate, which he then followed with graduate programme MPhil Stud in Philosophical Studies at UCL. During his Uni years, Daniel was actively involved in a range of sports teams and societies, serving as an Education Secretary and Treasurer for the Philosophy Society and throwing the javelin at BUCS. Outside of work, Daniel enjoys reading high fantasy novels and running recreationally, with his main current goal being to run a 5km distance in under 20 minutes.
“I am delighted to join Amberside at such an exciting time in the business’ development. I have been really encouraged by the impactful work Amberside is doing in renewable energy and the public sector. Moving forward, I hope to contribute to projects that make a difference not only to our clients, but to the UK and the world more generally.”
Rosie joined us after graduating from the University of Cambridge, where she studied Natural Sciences, specialising in plant sciences/ecology. Rosie is very passionate about tackling climate change and she is keen to develop her professional career in the renewable energy sector. Outside of work she enjoys spending time outdoors and doing various sports, from climbing through to cycling and swimming – she even completed her first triathlon earlier this year.
She also loves travelling and is a keen baker.
“I’m thrilled to be joining Amberside Advisors, a firm that I think does fascinating work in the renewable energy and low carbon sector and is at a crucial point in its growth through joining the Steer Group. Being able to start my career at a firm right at the forefront of such a valuable field is really exciting to me, especially given the turning point we have reached as a country and globally, when it comes to tackling climate change. I’m looking forward to joining the team, developing my understanding of renewable energies, and building my modelling and business skills in a professional environment.”
Leon graduated this year from University College London with an undergraduate degree in Economics. In his career so far, Leon has already worked for three different startups, covering both sales and operations. Building on that experience and the knowledge he’s gathered during his courses at UCL, he is now looking forward to taking his first steps into financial advisory space with Amberside. Leon enjoys spending time in the countryside and has even had experience working at a farm last summer. He likes to stay active, training frequently at the gym, while also finding the time to explore his more artistic side, writing poetry and playing guitar.
“I am very excited to start working at Amberside, a Steer company, at this pivotal time and work on projects that have real meaning and impact.”
Zaydaan have recently graduated with a Bachelors degree in Geography from the University of Cambridge. A year prior to joining us, Zaydaan completed an internship as Product Analyst Intern at Transport Research Laboratory, where he had an opportunity to contribute to one of their flagship projects, which supported National Highways. Outside of work, Zaydaan likes staying active, going to the gym and travelling, and he’s a keen cricketer – he used to play for his University team and now he continues his passion playing at the Hertfordshire League for Pinner Cricket Club.
“I am excited to be joining Amberside and look forward to collaborating with my new team, hoping to add value to the business by developing my skills in commercial and financial advisory and modelling solutions.”
We are delighted to have our new consultants onboard and we wish them the very best of luck in their new roles.
