Neil De Sousa Mentor

I am a dynamic professional with 12 years of diverse work experience across the financial services and social sectors in Europe, the Middle East and South Asia. I have worked across industries including Banking/Finance, FMCG, Non-profit and Tax/Audit. My existing role within HSBC is a multi-faceted one where I manage multiple stakeholders through running regional Strategy for the Private Bank and leading business development for a book of Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) clients.

Given my diverse background across industries as well as having completed an MBA in Corporate Strategy, I can offer a broad range of expertise all along the business value chain. I also have a large network of fellow professionals to leverage off, should they be able to be of any assistance.

A strong trustworthy partnership between the mentor and mentee is key. This relationship will undoubtedly be one of give and take, with proper commitment on both ends.

The clearer the entrepreneur is about what they aim to achieve from the relationship, the more mutually beneficial the relationship will be. Defining a clear set of objectives and prioritising them is a great starting point.
