We're all excited to meet you!
PresidentHey everyone, I’m Janhvi - a final year International Business Management student. I’ve completed a placement year at The Walt Disney Company, and a semester exchange at the University of Hong Kong. At our events, you’ll either a) learn something you’ve never learnt before, b) meet someone new, c) understand more about an industry you already love.
As President this year, I want to make sure everyone feels welcomed to our events and socials, regardless of what they study. I’m most passionate about Sustainability, Entertainment and Fashion, and we’ll definitely have events centred around those areas this year (stay tuned). But overall, I want to make sure our Society is a place where our members feel like they can share ideas, develop friendships as well as their professional networks & have a great time alongside their degrees! I’m super excited for the year ahead and can’t wait to meet you! |

EVENTS TEAM
Head of Finance, Consulting & Technology (FCT)Hello folks! I am Abhishek Sundar - a final year Business Management student. As the Head of Finance, Consulting and Technology, I am responsible for the planning and execution of events pertaining to the above industries. One thing that appeals to me about the Business Society is the fact that it is extremely inclusive - there is something for everyone to takeaway from.

Head of Advertising, Marketing & PR (AMP)My name is Anita Sá Couto and I study International Business Management. I work alongside the event team heads and lead the Advertisement, Marketing and PR (AMP) division of the Business Society. As a team we are responsible for planning, organising and establishing the events under the AMP division. My favourite aspect about the Business Society is the connections you make through the Society with amazing people and the opportunity to develop your business skills in a practical way.

Head of Entrepreneurship & InnovationHey! My name is Michael, and I am a final year International Business Management student. Within the society, I am the head of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, under the events department. My role entails organising events alongside my team and the other event teams of the society. For instance, this year we have organised multiple events with entrepreneurs from a variety of industries, who have collaborated with the University to bring their businesses to life. My department has also been involved in organising events alongside other societies, such as the IDEA Sprint, designed to bring student ideas together to help a local charity.
The Business Society has given me the first insight into what the professional scene looks like. It's a great way to challenge yourself and take on that extra bit of commitment to develop your time management skills and show that desire to get to work to your future employer. You also get to know and work with highly prepared and passionate individuals who have a genuine passion for the business world in general. The potential to learn and develop as a professional is immense. |
PUBLICITY TEAM
Creative CoordinatorMy name is Natalie Nicolaou and I am a final year student in Business Management (B.Sc.). I am part of the publicity team and my role is being a publicity coordinator. Promoting events on social media platforms for the Advertising, Marketing and PR division, as well as the Entrepreneurship and Innovation division was one of my main responsibilities. I also contributed to the business-based magazine by writing about topics relating to the current business environment. The best part about being a member of the Surrey Business Society is that I gained an abundance of knowledge from the various events with different companies. As well as this, working with other team members and departments and exchanging ideas with different people has enhanced my creativity and team working skills.

I am a Publicity co-ordinator within the society, ensuring events are promoted for the Finance, Consulting and Technology division, as well as the Fashion and Retail division. I create promotional content for events and have also been a part in making the Magazine for the society. The best part about being in the society is the opportunities it provides such as being able to attend various events with great companies such as Microsoft and KPMG. As well as this, I have enjoyed meeting new people and developing my creativity skills within the role.

Graphic DesignerMy name is Paulo De Andrade and I'm final year Electronic Engineering student. As the society's graphic designer, my role is all about creating impactful visual materials that allow us to engage with people. This includes our logo and a wide range of publicity materials you can view on our social media.
Surrey Business Society has been a great way for me to develop my skills and use them in a way to benefit the Surrey community. It has also provided me the opportunity to work with an incredible group of students and expand my network through interactions with society members and our event speakers. |
