The Berkeley Partnership

Shakeel Mowla

Profile

As a student I was torn between a passion for science and the practicalities of earning a decent income. So, to keep my options open, I took a joint honours degree in Physics and Computing at Kings College London!

After graduating I was fortunate to join a fabulous graduate programme at Courage where I went on to become an IT project manager four years later. I then joined BUPA where, five years on, I became their IT Strategy Manager. At this stage, I decided to broaden my business and transformation delivery experience by entering the world of consulting. Initially with Ernst & Young for three years, I became very attracted by Berkeley’s simple business model:

  • Develop the best consultants
  • Exceed clients’ expectations
  • Do business through trust based relationships.

My favourite pastimes all begin with an “F”... film, food and fighting! Actually, by fighting, I mean studying martial arts which keeps the weight in check from the other two hobbies.
