New York has one of the most active and vibrant fintech scenes and women in fintech need a community to help each other get promoted, find better jobs and get paid more. Join the group (both women and men) if you are in fintech in NYC! www.meetup.com/NYC-Fintech-Women

Entrepreneurial Alumni

Sophie Griffiths

New York, September 2008

Sophie, a graduate of Leeds University, finally gave up her advertising day job earlier this year in order to make her “side hustle” her “main hustle!” In February she launched www.vignettewine.com, a wine consultancy that produces creative wine experiences. In Sophie's words, "it's early days… but so far it was the best decision I have made. The hardest step is that first one!"

Sophie hosts private and public sessions and corporate events from large to small. In fact she is hosting two art-inspired, experiential wine evenings at the Leyden Gallery in Spitalfields on 24th October and 21st November, and is offering Mountbatten alumni a 20% discount off the ticket price!

It was brought to our attention by a fellow alum that Joshua Abreu (London, August 2009) was recently named the new "presidente de la Comisión Nacional de Valore de Paraguay" (i.e. President of the National Securities Commission of Paraguay which is essentially the regulatory body of the national stock exchange ). Quite an achievement.
