Further Support .................................................................................................................... The Careers Department
Our Networking Evenings have benefited from the backing of many supporters, including Old Alleynians and parents. Over the course of the last academic year we ran two of these events; the first was held in the Old Library and focused on careers in the legal profession. Guests included: Judge Michael Hopmeier (OA 1960-69); Peter Susman QC (OA 1953-61) of Henderson Chambers; Shams Rahman (OA 1984-91) Partner, Edwin Coe LLP; Elliot Laurie (OA 1982- 88; parent), Group Legal Director, The Go-Ahead Group; Simon Clark (OA 1984-89), Partner, Herbert Smith Freehills; Michael Thurgood (OA 2000-02), Equities Legal Team, Bank of America Merrill Lynch; Nicholas Taffs (parent), Partner, Streathers Solicitors LLP; David Ewings (OA 1992-02), barrister, Charter Chambers; James Franklin (OA 1990-98), Manager, John Walters plc; and Jayne Black (parent and College Governor), Partner at Berwin Leighton Paisner LLP. The second event focused on careers in finance and took place in the Dulwich Picture Gallery. Pupils were spoilt by the quantity of expert advice and information they received and many opportunities were pursued after the event. Among those who supported the event were: Bunt Ghosh (past parent and College Governor), Senior Advisor at CQS; Vivian Bazalgette (OA 1961-69 and College Governor), Investment Advisor to the Nuffield Foundation; James Lewis (OA 2002- 09), Insurance (Audit) Group, Deloitte; Michael Kennard (OA 1961-68), Auditor, Baker Tilly; Peter Hellman (parent), Co- CEO, Omada Capital; Adam Walczak (OA 1991-96), Director Foreign Exchange Spot, TD Securities; Danny McFarlane (OA 1982-89), Senior Partner, The Cameron James Partnership LLP; Cyrus Mewawalla (OA 1978-84), Managing Director, CM Research; Amit Bhola (OA 1995-00), Director Structured Credit, Citigroup; Rohit Nanda (OA 1986-91), COO, Asset Match Ltd; Alexander Yaffe (OA 2001-06), Prime Brokerage, Goldman Sachs; Chris King (OA 1989-99), Senior Consultant, Sheffield Haworth; Ben Turnbull (OA 1990-95), Associate Director (Equities IT), HSBC Global Banking and Markets; Jin Chin (OA 1994-99), HR consultant; Andrew Neden
Elizabeth Soare Head of Careers t : +44 (0)20 8299 9220 e : soaree @ dulwich.org.uk The Careers Department wishes to thank all for the continuing – and ever increasing – level of support provided by the Dulwich community in the shape of a wide variety of kind offers. Not wishing to take over too many pages, I detail just a small number of examples that have provided great benefits to boys. In February 2014 more than 100 exhibitors attended our annual Courses and Careers Convention, when boys from Year 11, Remove and Upper Sixth received advice about university and subsequent opportunities. Among the exhibitors were: John Downie (parent), Managing Director for Accenture’s Resources (Energy, Mining, Natural Resources, Chemicals) business; Ian Tredgett (OA 1978- 86) of Goldman Sachs; Dr Arun Thiyagarajan (OA 1998-05), Academic Clinical Fellow in Primary Care at the Royal London Hospital; Will Topping (OA 2003-08), Graduate Engineer at Western Power; and Dr Daniel Smith (OA 1987- 95) and Dr Rohan Rajasingham (OA 1978-83), both dentists. Much to our delight, Antonio Franchi (parent), Vice President of global satellite company Inmarsat, along with Stephen White (parent), Chairman of media group EMM International, returned to help again. During the course of the year lunchtime talks were given on a variety of career areas. Pupils appreciate these smaller gatherings and value the opportunity to question guests. Two memorable visits were those of Dillon Harindiran (OA 2007-14), who is currently on Accenture’s gap year scheme, and Richard Sowerby (OA 1963-70), who came to talk to the Economics Society.
