After a career with McKinsey, the UN and TBA, I was drawn to Portas’ unique proposition weaving together sport, business and a commitment to social impact. Portas has afforded me the platform and freedom to pursue opportunities around the world in this space. I have the perfect balance in my daily work – combining robust intellectual rigour with a caring culture that puts ‘doing the right thing’ above all else.

The business side of sport has always fascinated me, and working at Portas has given me the unique opportunity to combine the rigour and intellectual challenge of management consulting with the industry I'm most passionate about. Life at Portas is all about delivering real impact for our clients, and it's incredibly motivating to solve complex problems and see the tangible results of our great work.

Everyone at Portas Consulting combines work with passion and expertise which makes it easy for us to go the extra mile and deliver for our clients. As a Consultant, I have had the chance to be involved with a wide range of stakeholders helping them shape the future of sports in Saudi Arabia.

Academic and sporting success have always been of the utmost importance to me and Portas offered a truly unique opportunity to combine the two, making it an obvious choice. The Business Analyst role delivers constant intellectual stimulation, applied in an industry I am passionate about, while allowing me to continue playing basketball recreationally.

Having pursued my sporting passions to the highest levels, Portas provided a unique opportunity to combine my enthusiasm for all things sport with the intellectual challenge of driving real change for our clients. Surrounding myself with work colleagues of high sporting and academic calibre has provided a similar environment to my sporting days, to drive me to achieve success in my professional career.
