About Stephanie

Stephanie is a commercial / technology lawyer with market leading IT and commercial experience. She possesses strong communication, interpersonal and problem-solving skills. Together, these skills enable her to strategically align internal and external stakeholders, to support an organisation to achieve their commercial objectives.

Stephanie attributes her hard work ethic and resilience to her environment growing up in Peckham (South-East London) – having been raised in a single parent household and witnessing the financial struggles of her mother (a working-class first-generation migrant). From a young age Stephanie made a commitment to herself that she would not be a product of her environment. In her youth she understood the power of education, training, mentorship, and networking, and made an effort to utilise all the resources available to her to change the trajectory of her life and create a new narrative for herself and the generations that would follow after her.

In May 2007, Stephanie graduated from The London School of Economics and Political Science (“LSE”) with a 2.1 BA (Hons) in Geography. Following her degree at the LSE, Stephanie decided to embark on further studies and undertook a law conversion course – the Graduate Diploma in Law and the Legal Practice Course, at BPP Law School, London.
