Experience

Co-Founder & CEO of award-winning B Corp EdTech startup and full stack developer.

Major Achievements

Setting up an award-winning youth mentoring B Corp startup. Coming from a working-class background, Emma felt compelled to help young people suffering from the network disadvantage she had also experienced first-hand, so in 2018 packed in her corporate M&A career and taught herself how to code. Fast forward to today, Emma is now a full-stack developer and - alongside Co-Founder, Dexter - has grown the company to reach disadvantaged students in every corner of the UK and beyond, running mentoring programmes sponsored by Disney, BAFTA, Netflix and more.
