She is currently on the investment team at Stride Ventures, covering the UK and Europe fund, where she owns sector research workstreams independently, from initial brief through to LP-ready outputs.

At Honasa Consumer, she ran primary research for The Derma Co., designing a consumer survey with Kantar, generating the analysis, and translating findings into a restructured marketing strategy.
