Entrepreneurs: Chair

As current Vice Chair for 2024-2025, I've had the privilege of contributing to our society's growth through practical leadership and focused programming. During my term, I:

Strengthened IdeaForge:

  • Coordinated both educational and competitive phases of our startup incubator
  • Managed team communications and ensured smooth transitions between program stages

Delivered Relevant Content:

  • Ran a practical session on product development that resonated with members
  • Introduced useful business modeling tools like Lean Canvas
  • Brought in Stefano Giacone to share real-world entrepreneurial insights

Built Meaningful Connections:

  • Organized the Xenia Tchoumi event, creating valuable networking opportunities
  • Facilitated practical discussions on entrepreneurial skills development

For 2025-2026 as Chairman:

I plan to build on these foundations with realistic improvements:

  • Refine IdeaForge based on participant feedback from this year
  • Continue developing our existing corporate relationships for sustainable support
  • Maintain our speaker series with a focus on quality over quantity
  • Implement targeted workshops that address specific needs identified by members

My approach is straightforward: listen to our members, focus on what works, and make incremental improvements. I've established working relationships with speakers and sponsors that I'll continue to nurture, and I believe in practical steps rather than sweeping changes.

I'm committed to supporting Imperial students with the tools they need for entrepreneurial success.
