I was at McKinsey in London from 2017-19, joining as a BA fresh out of undergrad and leaving as an Associate.

After leaving McKinsey I spent time at start-ups, in the strategy team at a large corporate in the UK, and then eventually founded a company after going through Entrepreneur First in London.

When reflecting on my founder journey, I recalled all the invaluable help and advice I received from McKinsey alumni (and current Firm Members). It wasn’t obvious to me initially (maybe it should have been!) that this help was available or even existed, and so I set about creating X26 to make it easier to plug into the amazing network of McK alum/members that are within the startup ecosystem globally.
