Interview with Carolyne Quinn, LBS MBA 2018

What year did you graduate from London Business School?

July 2018

Who is your current employer?

R3, an enterprise blockchain company

Why did you choose to attend LBS?

I wanted to go to a great business school and was already living in London (and didn't want to move abroad), so it was my first choice 

Tell us about a memorable moment at LBS.

It's not really a moment, but I spent an unforgettable 3 months in Tel Aviv for my summer internship with MBA students from around the world. A close second was our wonderful women in business conference, attended by 400 people in March.   

Briefly describe what the culture was like at LBS?

Very diverse. Out of a 400 person class, 70 nationalities were represented. People had held previous jobs in weird and wonderful industries. I learnt a lot from my classmates.   

If you could appoint a fictional character to represent student life and culture, who would it be and why?

I think it would be a caribou. We are a nomadic but determined species. We often travel in herds and come from all over the world, and we don't like harsh climates.
