Bio
Tamsin joined Founders Pledge in November 2023 as Special Projects Manager. Prior to this, she spent almost a decade working in the Investment Management industry, in various roles within emerging markets and global macro funds.
Looking for more creativity, she then enrolled in culinary school, and has since worked in various hotels and bakeries as a pastry chef, and also launched a small business specialising in home baking kits.
Unsurprisingly, Tamsin has a massive sweet tooth and is often found creating delicious treats in the kitchen or roaming around town for baked goods. She also enjoys spinning and pilates. Tamsin holds a BA (Hons) in Contemporary Chinese Studies from The University of Nottingham.
Q&A with Tamsin
Q: If you could choose anyone famous (real or fictional) to have dinner with who would they be and why?
Cleopatra, Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. I think ancient civilisations are pretty fascinating and would love to hear about what it was actually like from someone of that time - so why not her!
Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A chef or a hotelier (not that I knew the word 'hotelier' as a child)
Q: If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?
I would love it to be a musical comedy - as I love watching musicals - played by Nicole Scherzinger, please."
